Boy Meets Dog

Short, Animation, Comedy

A boy, Bobby, gets a lesson in school about how to properly massage his gums to take care of his teeth. On the way home, Bobby finds a beagle and takes him home. Bobby's father scares the dog away and the dog hides in the house. The gnomes and elves on the wallpaper in Bobby's room come alive and knock Bobby's father unconscious and take him into the forest scene in the wallpaper.

He wakes up in a stock before a judge and jury, where he learns that he is charged with being "neurotic and erratic." The jury finds that he "has no mentality" because he does not massage his gums, and is "childlike in his dental knowledge" despite the fact that he attended college, and so finds him guilty. Bobby's father wakes up and all go out for sundaes and go fishing in the river. (Wikipedia)
