Cartoonists must have liked the name "Sylvester" back in the classic here. In this Bugs Bunny animated short, the first animal we see is "Sylvester," but not the cat that we all know. This time, it's a dog, snuggled up and pampered by his owner, nice and warm "as a bug in the rug" next to the fireplace on a cold winter night.
That's quickly interrupted when there's a knock on the door and it's a frozen Bugs. The old lady immediately gives him the rug and blanket and plops him down at the fireplace. The dog is not happy.
From that point, it's Bugs verses Sylvester, battling it out on who's going to stay warm and enjoy the fireplace. Bugs, as usual, is far superior in the brains department and his opponent has more heart. Unfortunately, in most of these cartoons the wise guy (Bugs) beats out the dumb goodhearted opponent.
Some funny touches included Bugs roasting a carrot and later, the dog howling outside while Bugs glances at a sad painting of the dog over the fireplace and a note the supposedly-dumb dog leaves Bugs!
More good stuff out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. It's easy to see why he was the most popular Looney Tune character of them all.
P.S. The ending of this is guaranteed to make you smile.
