(Cartoon)
Pluto wins an Oscar. He unwittingly rescues a kitten from drowning, but to his disgust it follows him home, where Mickey adopts it. The cartoon is dedicated to an animal welfare organization, and begins with the rather disturbing image of the kitten in a sack tied to a flatiron, a reminder that drowning unwanted kittens or puppies was once a common practice.

Of Pups and Puzzles, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Psychological testing by personnel offices was once a novelty. This short, directed by George Sidney, demonstrates how psychologists develop tests for screening job applicants, trying out new ideas on dogs and monkeys. In a rather unsettling sequence, the tester fires a gun while applicants are working on a math problem to see which one shows the most resilience from the unexpected disturbance. Try that one in your HR office today and see what happens.
