Boy Meets Dog

As I have mentioned before, some cartoons from the 1930s are a bit weird, and this short is no exception.  Some of the references to dental hygene can be explained by the fact that a toothpaste company commissioned the cartoon, but even accounting for the sponsorship, it is still a bit odd.  Nevertheless, you have to love the chorus of "Sing, Sing, Sing" from the elves.  From the Internet Archive, here is "Boy Meets Dog."
