Looney Tunes Baseball Card 69

Jones first used the dog in Little Orphan Airedale (October 4, 1947) which saw Clampett's "Rover" renamed "Charlie." The film was a success, and Jones would create two more Charlie Dog/Porky Pig cartoons in 1949: The Awful Orphan (January 29) and Often an Orphan (August 13). Jones also starred Charlie without Porky in a couple of shorts: Dog Gone South (August 26, 1950) which sees Yankee Charlie searching for a fine gentleman of the Southern United States, and A Hound for Trouble (April 28, 1951) which sends Charlie to Italy where he searches for a master who speaks English.
In these cartoons, Charlie Dog is defined by one desire: to find himself a master. To this end, Charlie is willing to pull out all the stops, from pulling "the big soulful eyes routine" to boasting of his pedigree ("Fifty percent Collie! Fifty percent Irish Setter! Fifty Percent Boxer! Fifty percent Doberman Pincher! But, mostly, I'm all Labrador Retriever!")—though in reality, he is just a slick-talking mutt who rarely realizes that his own aggressive obnoxiousness is sabotaging his appeal to any potential guardian.
