[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Betty runs the local pet store. Silent Henry wants to buy a puppy, but only has two cents. Soft-hearted Betty offers to let Henry work off the difference at her store. She soon regrets this decision after Henry causes a ruckus trying to manage the pets. In the end, Henry recaptures some escaped birds (by letting them eat seeds off his head), and Betty rewards him with a puppy.
[edit] Notes and comments
The Henry comic strip debuted in 1932, and still runs in some papers. This short was Henry's sole animated appearance.
Betty sings "Everyone Should Own a Pet."
