"Bartholomew Versus the Wheel" is a 1964 ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' short directed by Creator/RobertMcKimson.
A young boy (voiced by Leslie Barringer) tells the story of how his dog Bartholomew developed a seething hatred towards wheels after his tail gets run over by a scooter. As he grew bigger and bigger, he took the wheels off of more and more vehicles.
