A Mutt in a Rut is a 1959 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short directed by Robert McKimson.[1] The short was released on May 23, 1959 and features Elmer Fudd.[2]
The story concerns Elmer's dog, "Rover", who, after watching a television show about dogs, is determined to protest how he is treated, but after going hunting, every intention to hurt or kill Elmer backfires on him...in a good way. This is one of only a few storylines featuring Elmer Fudd wherein nothing disastrous happens to Elmer.
