Despite IMDB showing pictures of a color cartoon, the version of "Rover's Rival" I saw was in black & white. A few old black & white cartoons have been colorized over the years...and perhaps this is one. But the one posted at HBO Max's site is the original colorless one.
In this short, Porky is trying to teach an old dog new tricks. It seems that Rover is ancient and rickety. Despite that, he tries his best...only to have an obnoxious younger dog push him aside and do the tricks instead. In the case of playing fetch, however, things go awry....see the short to see how.
This is a cute cartoon but most importantly, it's pretty funny...and better than the average faire from Looney Tunes from 1937.
