Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMr. Burns says in the episode that the puppy that stands up only on its hind legs reminds him of Rory Calhoun. George Meyer came up with the joke, but Matt Groening argued against it because he did not think the audience would know who Calhoun was. The writers decided to keep it in anyway, because it was later expanded into a key part of the episode's ending. Several years later, Groening stated that he was proven correct after pointing to discussions on the Internet about the episode asking who Calhoun was.
- GoofsWhen Bart and Lisa go down the laundry chute, Lisa removes Bart's shoes and socks and throws his socks down the chute to get the puppies to go down and escape Mr. Burns. However, when Mr. Burns points his gun at Bart and Lisa after deciding he can't kill the puppies in the next scene, Bart's shoes are back on.
- Quotes
Lisa: What's Santa's Little Helper doing to that dog?
Marge Simpson: Uh-oh.
Bart: It looks like he's trying to jump over her, but he can't quite make it. Come on, boy! You can do it!

Featured review
Fun episode
This was a memorable episode based on an obvious spoof of One Hundred and One Dalmatians coupled with the humor and charm of The Simpsons. Mr Burns is invariably the perfect villain even if this was written before he was officially part of the Disney universe. I've watched this one over and over again and it never seems to get old. It is one of my favorites.
The Easter eggs scattered throughout were a lot of fun as well. I am relatively certain they have snuck some in there that likely slipped past me so it's worth keeping an eye out for them. We might need more greyhound puppy follow ups in future episodes.
