The Chow Hound is an animated short, directed by Frank Tashlin and first released in June 1944.
He is on his honey moon when the United States join World War II.
He is inspired by an Uncle Sam poster to join the war effort and is processed as canned food.
The cans marked with his smiling visage are then transported by truck, ship, and camel overseas to reach the hungry troops.
The ghost attacks the clueless soldier, and laments volunteering as food only to be wasted.
