What happens

Foxy by Proxy is a 1952 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on February 23, 1952, and features Bugs Bunny and Willoughby the Dog, in the latter's last appearance. Mel Blanc voices Bugs Bunny, while an uncredited Stan Freberg voices Willoughby and one of the dogs that talks in the short. This cartoon is considered a remake to Of Fox and Hounds from 1940; in fact, the opening sequence was "borrowed" directly from the original. During a fox hunt, Bugs disguises himself as a fox to play tricks on the hunting dogs. With most of them not caring if their prey is a fox or a rabbit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
