| - Puttin' on the Dog is a one-reel animated cartoon and is the 16th Tom and Jerry short directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby. It was released in theatres on 28 October 1944, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The cartoon was animated by Pete Burness, Ray Patterson, Irven Spence and Kenneth Muse, and the music was composed by Scott Bradley. The cartoon revolves around Tom's attempt's to disguise himself as a dog in order to get his hands on Jerry who is hiding from him in a dog pound. It is sometimes thought of as a sequel to The Bodyguard (the previous cartoon).
- Tom successfully frees the head and runs to the center of the pound to keep lookout. Jerry sneaks up behind him and imitates barking. Tom is startled out of his wits and tries to claw his way through a wall until he figures out it's Jerry. Jerry continues imitating a dog, then runs away. Tom chases after him and looks under various dogs to find the mouse, and then spots him in a bone-hat. Tom bolts after him, and Jerry hides. Convinced that the end of the dog bone nearby is Jerry in disguise, Tom grabs it and is met by an angry Spike. As Spike chomps down, Tom causes Spike to swallow his bone and hides underneath a St. Bernard. The big dog goes to sleep and Tom pops out from under it - without the dog head. Tom digs back under the St. Bernard, waking it up. Tom is hanging from the collar.
