He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown

This was made,(in 1968) the year I was born. I was unable to see it on television, but I read the hard-cover book which, I loved. Everybody has a bad-side, but this is a lovable cartoon puppy-dog. In comparison, Snoopy's bad-side is nothing. I love the early animation of the Peanuts characters,it's the best childhood memory stuff. There is just a feeling I get every time I see and watch it. The music, the colors, the little voices... It's almost like flying or dreaming, something pleasurable, that brings relaxation. This one episode however, was a 'badboys' delight!! I am looking for this one on DVD, because I have never even seen it on VHS. For me Charles m. Shulz, God bless his heart, has in sort of a way given me back the enjoyment of childhood innocence that seems too often lost in life for many. This is a classic Peanuts. I plan to buy it and show it to my baby boy, he was 2 months old when he started watching Peanuts, just crying one day in his swing, he saw Snoopy and stopped crying. Now he loves Snoopy and the gang. Thank you Charles for creating some of the best child hood associations, ever!!! Peanuts and 'Charlie Brown Specials' should be shown in hospitals along side various cancer treatment programs and other illnesses etc, for kids and adults too. It sure couldn't hurt anything.

Ol' Blockhead must be giving Snoopy too much sugar as he's way more hyper than usual at the beginning of this 1968 TV special. The rest of the Peanut's gang are sick of Snoopy's antics and demand that Chuck sort it out. Feeling that his only option is to send Snoops back to Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for some discipline training he makes the necessary arrangements. But Snoops instead spends the time with Peppermint Patty being spoiled rotten.

Patty soon tires of Snoopy's laziness and turns into an authoritarian nightmare, driving the mutt to madness. Meanwhile the rest of the gang mourn Snoopy's absence, annoyance or not.

This special deviates from the usual tone as it shows the bad side of the Peanut's gang. Though I do find that stories that focus on Snoopy or Woodstock tend to be less satirical and involving.

This is not a great special. Clearly, it was made very early in the history of Peanuts animation and has the same style as "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I don't care for it because it shows each character's bad side. It shows Snoopy as a free-loading, Charlie-Brown hating jerk. It shows Peppermint Patty as a dictatorial slavedriver. It shows Charlie Brown as a (shudder) "dog-owner!" That leash! Oy gevalt! So maybe it's good that this one is overlooked. Although, when Snoopy returns and fights with Lucy only to have her say, "He's back!" after surrendering, that's a fun moment

One of Charlie Brown's most comical and funniest short films. Simply amazing. Highly recommend.

Fifth animated special based on the Charles M. Schulz cartoon strips is one of the best non-holiday ones, about how Snoopy is acting up as summer break begins, causing Charlie Brown's friends to complain, and forcing him to send Snoopy back to the Daisy Hill puppy farm but instead ends up at Peppermint Patty's house, where he proceeds to become a freeloader! After Charlie's attempt to bring Snoopy home go awry, Patty gets back at Snoopy by forcing him to do all the chores she can think of, making Snoopy appreciate Charlie and his friends like never before. Funny special is warm and witty, with the priceless way Patty calls Snoopy that "funny looking kid with the big nose".
