About Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: Doggone Tired (1949)

Doggone Tired is a 1949 cartoon short directed by Tex Avery. Doggone Tired is one of three MGM cartoons currently in the public domain in the United States.

Later that night, on the Out in Happy Hunting Lodge, Speedy the dog is brought to a cabin in the woods by his owner to hunt rabbits. Despite his eagerness, Speedy is told by his owner that it's too late to go hunting and to come inside to get some sleep. The rabbit comes out of the hole and overhears the owner telling Speedy that he needs a good sleep to hunt the rabbit, so the rabbit harasses Speedy throughout the night to keep him awake. Despite Speedy stopping each plot by the rabbit, he continues to not get sleep. After keeping Speedy up all night, the rabbit also is tired in the morning.
