The qualities in many kinds of dogs are similar to the qualities we want from our automobiles; safety, speed, protection; beauty.
"For thousands of years, dogs have offered protection, companionship and love to men their masters. More than friends, more than pets are the dogs who spend their lives bringing life into the darkness."
"The engineer has done better with the automobile than nature did with the dog. For modern science has produced a car that satisfied all the demands of all drivers. Today's motor car is all in one."

FROM THE FIRST DOMESTICATION OF THE DOG, MAN HAS SOUGHT 1 DOG THAT WOULD COMBINE ALL VALUABLE QUALITIES. FROM THIS INTRO, THE PARALLEL OF ONE AUTOMOBILE, THAT COMBINES ALL VALUABLE QUALITIES IS SHOWN.
Ken Smith sez: Jam Handy asks us to accept a rather strained analogy in this film. Dogs belong to many different, specialized breeds -- which proves that an all-purpose car (such as the Chevrolet) is superior to a dog! "Today's motorcar is all in one," explains the narrator. The speed of a Greyhound; the agility of a Terrier; the dependability of a Collie, etc., etc. Okay, okay -- we get the point.

Subject: Bait and Switch
The usual Jam Handy narrator without deadened walls in his voice booth is going on and on about dogs. But what's the point?
Ah, the script slowly eases us into the trap. Dogs with "quick acceleration"? "Power and economy, fast getaway with speed and safety"? Hmmm. That sounds more like...
Wait. Now kids are building Joe a dog-powered wagon because his old one doesn't have "style, comfort and safety." His new one has springs, a steering wheel, a steamlined body."
Why look! It's just like what you'll find in a Chevrolet!
The short ends with a '38 Chev sedan rolling down the road.
There a huge gap of silence on the soundtrack near the beginning. I suspect music was to go there (later we're treated to "An English Country Garden."

By the way, a very curious glitch, The narrator seems to stop his narration about 30 seconds in, and we get about 2 minutes of silence before the narrator starts talking again. Is this a mistake on the filmmakers part? or what?
