What happens

Ding Dog Daddy is a 1942 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce. The short was released on December 5, 1942. No voice actors were credited on screen, but those who participated were Pinto Colvig, Mel Blanc and Sara Berner. Gerry Chiniquy was given sole credit as animator, but animators Ken Champin and Manuel Perez were also involved. The title is a play on a popular expression, coined from the 1928 song "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
