Once Upon a Dog

Too slow and unaccustomed to hunting prey, the Dog despairs and contemplates hanging himself from a tree.

He helps the Wolf enter the house where there is a wedding in progress and fetches him different kinds of food from the table.

Becoming tipsy from the effects of a large meal, alcohol and a warm house, the Wolf starts to howl his "song."

The cartoon repeatedly features the Ukrainian folk songs "Oi tam na hori" ("Oh, there at the mountain", performed by an ensemble from Solonytsia, Lubny Raion, Poltava Oblast), "Ta kosyv batko, kosyv ya" ("My father mowed, I mowed", performed by an ensemble from Iskivtsi, Lubny Raion, Poltava Oblast), and "Oi do boru stezhechka" ("Oh, there is a path to the pine barren", performed by the folk ensemble of Kyiv Conservatory).
