pretty dumb dog

there's no use crying about it porky

your dad's already on his way to town

maybe he'll bring you back a swell irish

setter or something

no one and i'm a center i don't want any

kind of dog

leaning on me

on top of not having a brain in your

head you're the homeless looking mud i

ever laid eyes on

that's right go to sleep

eating and sleeping are the two things

you do best

well he's feeling pretty unhappy about

pokey and and just thought it might

cheer him up if he stayed over

waiting for one of dad's night shirts

and i'm sure we have an extra toothbrush

oh fine

fine birdie thanks bye-bye

okay okay

it's okay pork you can stay overnight

mom is it okay if we have a pillow fight

if you promise not to get feathers all

over the room promise word of honor

what would you like for supper porky

i don't know

i'm not hungry

how about clam chowder and fried chicken

sweet corn and lemon cream pie how about

that porky

okay

sounds like a wonderful menu i suppose

you go out and pick me a dozen nice ears

of corn okay

until you get a dog that you really like

porky you can play with lassie as much

as you want

thanks jeff

[Music]

wake up we're almost there

[Music]

that's all i need

[Music]

you stay there

don't come out

[Music]

so

[Music]

boy if your pop brings you back an irish

setter we can go hunting pheasants and

quail grouse

irish setters are real good dogs they

got keen noses too

better and lassies even

you're just saying that

oh no i'm not porky honest i'm not

anybody i'll tell you sitters got the

keenest nose of any dog

could smell a pheasant a mile away

pogie couldn't smell nothing but food

but he could smell it good

[Music]

and the setter can swim like a fish

well but if you get a setter he'll be

able to beat lassie all hollow at

swimming and follow on a

trail setters can do tricks too

they can't

sure i saw a center at a carnival once

that was better than last year doing

tricks

boy was he smart

i'd still rather have pokey

[Music]

hey but why don't they make these things

so man can put them on without breaking

his back
