Fido Beta Kappa is another Famous Studios cartoon written by Irv Spector that I'd recommend

This is yet another Irv Spector-written cartoon from Famous Studios that I just found-this time on Cartoon Brew as linked from YouTube. In this one, the dog is no use to the master (he mistakenly gives said master a tree branch instead of his rifle when they're confronted by a bear) so that master threatens to send him to the dog pound. Instead, the dog begs to go to college so he gets sent to Dog Gone U. After graduation, that dogs talks more proper and proves smarter than the master when he's tested in safe guarding, duck hunting, and lightning spotting. Well, about that last one...Not as hilarious as the last two Spector-Famous cartoons I reviewed but funny enough that I enjoyed it. The last gag was especially hilarious though a bit more shockingly violent than I'd expect from a '50s cartoon. So for that, I recommend Fido Beta Kappa.
