This Disney cartoon finds Pluto locked in a cage at the dog pound. However, his cage-mate, a Boston Terrier, is very resourceful and escapes. Fortunately, this is a very nice and non-self-centered dog, and it soon frees Pluto and the other dogs. As for Pluto, he's VERY self-centered and wants nothing to do with this dog--even thought he saved him. And when Pluto finds a big bone, he won't share it with the cute little Boston Terrier. However, soon all the other dogs notice Pluto's bone and give chase. Ultimately, the Boston comes through and saves the bone for nasty old Pluto. Fortunately, in the closing frames Pluto has learned his lesson and he and the other dog are now friends.
This film shows an atypical sort of Pluto--a very self-centered one. He's not the sweet guy you'll see in later films. However, the cartoon is very enjoyable and well animated--so even if its message comes off as a big heavy-handed, it's still worth seeing.
