I'm new here so please be gentile. Can anyone tell me the name of the toon with Charlie Dog (I think) that has him and a bulldog that eat waaaay too much. I need to find the toon to grab the sound byte "This time we didn't forget the gravy." Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Forum, knacrj!
FYI, I'm Jewish and, with all due respect, absolutely refuse to be gentile.
Someone asked the Mystery Cartoon forum the same question three months ago, so I'll give the same answer.
This was the 1951 Chuck Jones-directed Looney Tune Chow Hound (http://www.bcdb.com/bcdb/cartoon.cgi?film=3733). Yes, I remember it well.
The "Guide to Censored Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies" (http://looney.toonzone.net/ltcuts/ltcutsc.html) says that FOX deleted the famous final scene in which the mouse and cat force-feed gravy to the (hospitalized) dog: "This time, we didn't forget the gravy!"
Since my previous answer, I've learned that Chow Hound is available on the laserdisc Looney Tunes Assorted Nuts. Possibly, it is unavailable on video anywhere else.

They can't all be winners...
Maybe this sidetrack should go into the Disney forum, but "please be gentile," so I've heard, applied -- literally -- to Walt Disney studios when ol' Walt ran the place.
I've heard he also didn't hire folks of Italian origin.
As a result, Jewish- and Italian-American animators, etc. took their talents to Warner Bros. and Fleischer Studios instead.
Can anyone confirm any of this?

Where would you verify something like that?
The relatives of Abe Levitow would be a start I guess if one can get a hold of them.

I'm able to answer my own question -- at least in part.
Karl Cohen, an animation history teacher at San Francisco State University (and the author of Forbidden Animation: Censored Cartoons and Blacklisted Animators in America), noted in an article in Animation World Magazine that Walt Disney hired Maurice Rapf as a writer in the mid-1940s, knowing Rapf to be Jewish.
But Rapf seems to be a rare exception. That's my opinion.
