Dog Pounded is a 1954 Looney Tunes short directed by Friz Freleng.
Plot[]
A hungry cat Sylvester sees Tweety is in his nest, which sits on a tree in a dog pound, which is home to numerous bulldogs. Sylvester tries different methods of getting up the tree, including disguising himself as a dog, but none of them work. Eventually, he disguises himself as a skunk, which almost works until Pepé mistakes him for a female skunk and starts flirting with him.

Notes[]
- This is the only appearance of Pepé Le Pew (a Chuck Jones character) in a Friz Freleng cartoon. Later the same year, Tweety would appear for the only time in a Chuck Jones cartoon, "No Barking".
- Pepé Le Pew would romantically pursue Sylvester by mistake again in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Is Paris Stinking?" and the 2000 direct-to-video feature film Tweety's High-Flying Adventure. Interestingly in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Platinum Wheel of Fortune", Sylvester gets romantically pursued by a lovesick skunk by mistake, though it is not Pepe Le Pew, it's Pepe's equally-lovesick cousin Pitu Le Pew.
- Similar in concept to "Ain't She Tweet", this cartoon also centers around Sylvester trying to catch Tweety surrounded by bulldogs, except that here Granny doesn't appear and Tweety is not a pet.
- On September 12, 2022, Jerico Dvorak uploaded a non-Blue Ribbon 16mm print of the short on YouTube.[2]
- This is the first cartoon to have the color rings adjusted to the Academy widescreen standard (1.85:1), becoming smaller.
- This cartoon was released two days before the studio reopened on January 4th, 1954.
- Vitaphone release number: 2324[3]
