Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of a dog collar.
- The working title was "Man's Pest Friend."
- The unnamed dog from this cartoon has a personality very similar to that of Charlie Dog, a creation of Chuck Jones, and the entire cartoon's scenario in general plays out like a typical Charlie Dog & Porky Pig cartoon, with the dog having a fanatical desire to get Porky to adopt him as his pet in spite of Porky's refusal, right down to acting dramatically to earn his sympathy.
- This is one of only three cartoons released in 1950 not to bear the all-green color rings scheme, the others being Hillbilly Hare and the last cartoon of 1950, Two's A Crowd.
- This was the last of four shorts where Manuel Perez animates for Robert McKimson. He would move back to work for Friz Freleng's unit starting with the 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon, Canned Feud.
