WesternAnimation/{{Pluto}}.

A starving Pluto passes by a military base and sees how well fed the mascots are. He sneaks in and tries to pass himself off as Gunther Goat, mascot of the Yoo-Hoo Division. Unfortunately, Gunther shows up and runs him off. Later, Pluto sees how much attention Gunther gets from the army men and decides to do him one better, but soon finds himself over his head.
