From Anonymous : I recently taped this short
off of the Disney Channel. I just loved the dog. I thought he was really
funny. First of all in the short, Goofy walks by the pet store with some
sausages in his hand and the puppy sees him. The puppy wants to go home with
him in hopes of getting the sausages. Later the cute little puppy grows into
a clumsy and chubby dog. As Goofy goes out for the night, the dog sleeps
at the doorstep when a robber comes and robs Goofy's house. The dog just
sleeps through the whole thing even when the police come and arrest the robber.
When Goofy returns, however, the dog barks and runs after him assuming that
he is a tresspasser (how ironic).

From Nikki : I can't say much that hasn't
already been said. Rover was at first an ideal pup with a couple of bugs.
But the full size Rover tears up everying. When Goofy is being robbed Rover
is just sleeping as the robbers take everything. He is only awakened when
Goofy returns in which point Goofy gets cornerd.

From Ryan : This is one of my favorite Goofy
cartoons of all time. I enjoy Bowser the dog's bumbling, yet alert personality.
Bowser looks a little like Pete's dog Muncey in the later Donald Duck cartoon
"The New Neighbor." I find myself laughing at the ending of the short becuase
of its irony. After Goofy goes out for the night, Bowser is left at home
on the front porch. A burglar comes by and walks over Bowser who is fast
asleep. The burglar tries to rob Goofy's house, but the cops come and arrest
him. None of this seems to wake Bowser up. When Goofy comes home, however,
Bowser starts growling at him.
I have seen "Man's Best Friend" and would like to
submit a comment on this short
