Feed the Kitty (1952)
This classic cartoon short was directed by Chuck Jones for the Warner Bros Studio. Written by Mike Maltese, it was about a bulldog, Marc Antony, who finds a stray kitten, Pussyfoot, and takes the kitten home with him. However, he has to keep Pussyfoot away from his owner who has forbidden Marc Antony to bring things into the house.
Words can't express how great this cartoon is. At once comedic with the juxtaposition of the huge, brutish bulldog and his affection for the tiny black kitten and his efforts to hide her from his owner, that turns into *spoiler* drama as we see Marc Antony's grief when he believes Pussyfoot to be blended, cut up, baked into a cookies, and his desperation to keep her when his owner finds Pussyfoot alive and well *end spoiler*. Its not a bulldog, but I was reminded of this awesome cartoon when I found the above photo on the smet. Cute.
And to those ppl who've said they don't understand what the appeal of Adrien Brody is to me, neither do I. He's just sexy, ok?!
