Weekend Viewing: What, No Gravy?

This wasn’t made for TV, of course, but it ran for years on Saturday mornings until network programmers got wise to the fact that maybe the term “kids stuff” doesn’t really apply to the story of an abusive, vicious dog pimping out a cat to three different owners so he can steal the cat’s food.
