Ding Dog Daddy



Ding Dog Daddy was a 1942 color Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce, about a dim-witted dog (voiced by Pinto Colvig), who falls in love with a metal statue of a female dog in a garden, failing to realize that "Daisy" is indeed a sculpture. Whenever the dog kisses Daisy, lightning strikes and sends a shock through his system, which he takes as a sign of her passionate love for him. The hero constantly has to contend with a vicious bulldog who is guarding the gate to the garden. After Daisy is carted away in a truck marked "Scrap Metal for Victory" to contribute to the American effort in World War II, the hero runs frantically to the munitions depot, calling Daisy's name, only to find a bomb labelled "Daisy". As he cries, "Oh, what have they done to you? They've changed you!", the bomb explodes in his face, leading him to cry out happily, "WWWWWOOOOWWWWW! Huh Huh! She hasn't changed a bit!"
