Comments

From Ryan : This isn't one of my favorite Pluto shorts, but I still like it. Pluto is sleepwalking and gives her his bone. He later wakes up and sees what he has done. The dachsund looks just like the one in "Canine Casanova." After Pluto has wrecked her doghouse, he sees she has puppies, just as she did in "Canine Casanova." Pluto feels guilty and lets her stay in his doghouse while he uses a newspaper for shelter. I don't think that's going to do much good as paper easily gets wet.

From Baruch Weiss : Has anyone besides me noticed Pluto's reaction in the final scene was similar to 'Canine Cassanova?'

From Dino Cencia : This short has a DTV music video called "I Saw Her Again Last Night" by The Mamas and the Papas and I loved the music video with this short on it. I feel disappointed that Pluto had destroyed Dinah's doghouse with little puppies and Dinah. But then Pluto gets an idea by sharing his doghouse with Dinah and the puppies and by sharing his bones and his home. And Dinah's happy and she licks Pluto a kiss and Pluto's happy and he feels proud of himself. I remembered that the same part in "Canine Casanova" with the same part when Dinah kissed Pluto. I'm glad that Pluto is friends with Dinah the dachshund. This short is awesome and I give it a 805 out of 805.

From Bryce : I notice the final scene when Pluto is all sad that he slouches his tail down behind his legs similar to the Pluto cartoon short Canine Casanova When Dinah barks very angrily at Pluto for playing tricks on her right after Pluto made the furniture obects fall and broke the frame glass mirror and both Pluto and Dinah run off together to hide behind a tree and Dinah is not very happy with Pluto at all for making trouble with her.

I have seen "The Sleepwalker" and would like to
