A dog is out on the street advertising the world's greatest thing - himself! However, there are no takers, so he jumps into the "Acme Pet Shop" truck. The next thing we see is Porky Pig answered his door and getting a draped bird cage. He's excited as he ordered a canary, a pet he's been looking forward to receiving. When he pulls down the cover, there's the dog squeezed into the cage!
Porky calls the pet shop to complain but the dog has already severed the phone wires and is pretending to be the pet shop owner, extolling the virtues of a dog and calling Porky a lucky man to have such a pet. Porky grabs the dog and escorts him out of the house. The dog quickly re-enters saying, "You don't have a pet, and I don't have a master. It's inevitable that we should be together." He continues the sales pitch, telling him how much better he is than a canary.
Porky keeps kicking him out , and the dog (a pointer whose idea of pointing is saying, "There it is!") keeps returning.....in a bunch of disguises that are very clever and very humorous. Porky doesn't fall for any of them. This was much funnier than I'm making it sound - a solid animated short.
P.S. The ending is diabolically bizarre.
