By this point, Charlie Dog had thrice invaded Porky Pig's life, so I guess that Chuck Jones wanted to send the pushy mutt on a new kind of adventure. "Dog Gone South" puts Charlie in the deep South, where he tries to get a southern gentleman to adopt him (the southern gentleman looks like Colonel Shuffle from Jones's earlier "Mississippi Hare"). Charlie doesn't interpret the colonel's current dog as an impediment.
It impressed me to see what Charlie can do on this different kind of adventure, as opposed to being a nuisance to Porky. My favorite of Charlie's cartoons is his debut "Little Orphan Airedale" (the ending reminded me of the Alan Bates movie "King of Hearts"). But I liked his antics here. It looks as though the South may never get over the Civil War! Worth seeing.
