June 16, 1951 –

The Looney Tunes short, Chow Hound, directed by Chuck Jones, debuted on this date.
Because of the dog’s mean-spiritedness, lack of sympathy and greed. He’s often considered by fans as the most hated character in the entire Looney Tunes franchise as a whole, even more so than other highly-disliked characters such as Buddy, Shep from the short, Fresh Airedale, Henery Hawk, Daffy Duck during his pairings with Speedy Gonzales (though the former is still likeable) and Charlie Dog.
