Encyclopedia Britannica, 9 min 42 sec In a departure from Sid Davis’ traditional “kids in peril” scenarios, this film introduces us to Skipper – a bigoted dog who doesn’t like the “funny looking’ diverse neighborhood kids that his owner is playing with. Skipper also has problems with the neighborhood dogs, but learns his lesson when he accidentally gets covered in poster paint. Even though this film is awkward and the message is forced, it is one of the first made for young children that addresses the problems of racial intolerance.

Paul Burnford, who produced the film, made several feature films in the 1940s including Adventures of Rusty (1945)
