Dog Pounded is a 1954 Looney Tunes short directed by I. Freleng.
Plot[]
A hungry cat Sylvester sees Tweety in his nest, which sits on a tree in a dog pound that is home to numerous bulldogs. Sylvester tries different methods of getting up the tree, including disguising himself as a dog, but none of them work. Eventually, he disguises himself as a skunk, which almost works until Pepé mistakes him for a female skunk and starts flirting with him.

Notes[]
- This is the only appearance of Pepé Le Pew (a Chuck Jones character) in a Friz Freleng cartoon. Later the same year, Tweety would appear for the only time in a Chuck Jones cartoon, "No Barking".
- Pepé Le Pew would romantically pursue Sylvester by mistake again in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Is Paris Stinking?" and the 2000 direct-to-video feature film Tweety's High-Flying Adventure. Additionally, in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Platinum Wheel of Fortune", Sylvester gets romantically pursued by a lovesick skunk by mistake, though it is not Pepé, but his cousin Pitu Le Pew.
- Similar in concept to "Ain't She Tweet" (1952), this cartoon also centers around Sylvester trying to catch Tweety surrounded by bulldogs, except that here Granny is absent and Tweety is not a pet.
- On 12 September 2022, a non-reissued 16mm print of the short was uploaded online.[2]
- This is the first cartoon to have the color rings adjusted to the Academy widescreen standard (1.85:1), becoming smaller.
- This cartoon was released two days before the studio reopened on 4 January 1954.
- Vitaphone release number: 2324[3]
