Friz Freleng, Foxy by Proxy, USA 1952
And now we bid farewell to Willoughby. Who? A dopey dog, we last saw him in 1944's Hare Force (even if he was called Sylvester), he was step down from Wily E. Coyote and honestly not even the best dog character the Warner Bros. had at the time.
The short is even more basic. A foxhunt is called, but Bugs is annoyed by this; thus he unleashes his full fury on the dogs, with Willoughby being the ringleader.
The short is fine, even if they reuse the same 'moving the log at the edge of the cliff' gag they did in All This and Rabbit Stew and the Bigs Snooze. This also one of the few shorts with Bugs losing, although he takes it in stride.
