It bears a resemblance to the dog from A Dog's Dream (1941), only without the black coloring on the ear, the black ball under its tail and half of its face. |
- A Puddy-esque dog appears in A Dog's Dream (1941), but without black spots on one of his ears, on his tail, he has long ears and is not furry and, mistakenly, was considered as an episode of Puddy in reissue version.
