Comments

From Ryan : Pluto is a well-pampered, domesticated dog. However, his wild side (portrayed as a wolf)convinces him to use his instincts to get food rather than getting fed by his owner. I enjoy the animation in this short, but it really isn't one of my favorites.

From Charlie Quigg : I like Pluto because I think he's a tenderfoot. I don't really like him with sharp teeth.

I have seen "Primitive Pluto" and would like to
