* SurprisinglySuperToughThing: "The Three Little Pups" has Droopy’s brick doghouse. While it obviously holds against the Wolf trying to blow it down, it also manages to survive against an axe, hammer, having its door rammed by a log, and enough explosives to level a town. Lampshaded by the Wolf in the cartoon.

''The Three Little Pups'' is a 1953 [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons MGM Pictures Cartoon]], directed by Creator/TexAvery and starring Droopy.

The film takes place within a small urban yard, where three young pups (Snoopy, Loopy and Droopy) are building their doghouses. Being based off the story of Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs, the pups respectively build houses of straw, sticks and bricks.

Of course, TheBigBadWolf is prowling around, today acting as a dog-catcher. Droopy, the only one who built a practical doghouse, must act to keep the Wolf from capturing Snoopy and Loopy.

! Tropes:

* AnimalJingoism: The Wolf attempts to use this by donning a handpuppet of a cat and meowing at the pups from behind a fence. Droopy turns this back on him with a wind-up mousetoy, which the cat-puppet immediately goes after, dragging the Wolf along. A few seconds later, the cat-puppet almost runs into a large bulldog, and in fright climbs to the top of a power line pole.
* BatteringRam: The Wolf tries using a large log to break down Droopy's doghouse door, only for the actual wood to slide out, leaving the clothlike-bark in the Wolf's hands.
* BehindAStick: More like Behind a Telephone Pole, but the Wolf and his vehicle do this twice in quick succession.
* BratsWithSlingshots: Droopy uses one to shoot the Wolf down from the power line pole.
-->'''Droopy''': Eight ball in the hip-pocket.
* ButtBiter: The bulldog not only latches onto the Wolf's rear end, but remains there even after both changes of pants the Wolf undergoes.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Played with for the Wolf, who starts off with the persona of a sadistic dog-catcher, only to immediately revert to a GoodOldBoy after Droopy's doghouse of bricks proves impenetrable.
* FanNickname: "Jubilo Wolf", thanks to the tune he constantly whistles.
* GoodOldBoy: Strangely laid-back and calm even when beset with constant failure, which sticks throughout all shorts featuring him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The Wolf can be heard whistling the old Civil War tune "Kingdom Coming" on an almost-constant basis.
* TheNameless: The Wolf goes unnamed throughout the cartoons, with most using his FanNickname of "Jubilo Wolf" in reference to his whistled tune.
* NamesTheSame: One of the pups introduced in the story is named [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]].
* PaperBagPopping: Done by Droopy to trick the Wolf into thinking his explosives went off, only for the Wolf to then run into said explosion.
* PinPullingTeeth: The Wolf attempts this with a grenade on a stick, only to end up with both pin and grenade in his teeth. When it explodes in his face, he loses at least seven teeth (which Droopy catches in a bin).
* VerbalTic: The Wolf tends to add "man" to a fair number of his sentences.
-->"Now there's a well-built doghouse, man."
-->"Meow, man!"
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: After the Wolf sucks up the pups' TV with a giant straw and it ends up in his stomach, it mysteriously reappears inside the house later, with Droopy making the comment:
-->"Now don't ask how we got the television set back."
