Directed by: Dave Fleischer, Shamus Culhane

Starring: Jack Mercer

Genres: Animated, Short

Continuity mistake: Once Spunky is kidnapped and Hunky takes off chasing the truck, you see the truck going along the road passing just some grass and one large rock on its left side. Once Hunky catches up to the truck, it cuts to a side view close up of him and Spunky's head sticking out the back, and suddenly the truck is passing a very large rock that was not there in the previous shot. The rock is taller than the truck, so it would have shown. And then it's very obvious the background is then looped as the same huge rock passes the truck every few seconds repeatedly. (00:01:35)

Continuity mistake: Searching for Spunky, Hunky skids to a stop when he sees a sign and looks up at it. Then it cuts to a close up of the sign reading QUIET Hospital Zone. Between shots, the sign becomes redder, and it appears the word Hospital becomes shorter, and other aspects of the sign change. (00:05:50)

Continuity mistake: Spunky is set on a stage at the auction once he is delivered there and he tries to run off to the left, but is grabbed by a hand and set back down. He looks around scared for a moment, and then it cuts to a closer angle and suddenly he is looking further to the left, has a tear in his eye, is standing up straight rather than sitting, a guy's face appears in front of him, and a hand is coming from behind him.
