Dumb-Hounded is a 1943 American animated short film directed by Tex Avery and written by Rich Hogan. It was the first cartoon to feature Droopy. The film was released on March 20, 1943 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
==Plot== When an imprisoned killer (played by Tex Avery's Big Bad Wolf character) escapes from Swing Swing Prison (a parody of Sing Sing Prison), numerous bloodhounds are released to track him down, including Droopy, who lags far behind the rest. He greets the audience and announces himself as the story's hero. Initially moving slowly, Droopy still manages to quickly locate the Wolf, who spends the entire story trying to escape from him. At one point, the Wolf even attempts to flee from Droopy by boarding a taxi, train, ship, and aircraft in succession. However, no matter where the Wolf flees, Droopy appears and greets him sarcastically. When the Wolf asks Droopy how he manages to keep up, Droopy laconically responds “Let’s not get nosy, bub.”
