The Three Little Pups	comment	The Three Little Pups is a 1953 MGM Pictures Cartoon, directed by Tex Avery and starring Droopy.The film takes place within a small urban yard, where three young pups (Snoopy, Loopy and Droopy) are building their doghouses. Being based off the story of The Three Little Pigs, the pups respectively build houses of straw, sticks and bricks.Of course, The Big Bad Wolf is prowling around, today acting as a dog-catcher. Droopy, the only one who built a practical doghouse, must act to keep the Wolf from capturing Snoopy and Loopy.

The Three Little Pups / int_24ac70d6	type	Surprisingly Super-Tough Thing
The Three Little Pups / int_24ac70d6	comment	Surprisingly Super-Tough Thing: "The Three Little Pups" has Droopyâ€™s brick doghouse. While it obviously holds against the Wolf trying to blow it down, it also manages to survive against an axe, hammer, having its door rammed by a log, and enough explosives to level a town. Lampshaded by the Wolf in the cartoon.
