Trivia
This is the first Tom and Jerry cartoon in which Spike is called "Butch".

Alternate versions
Some TV prints cut part of the scene in which Tom, Jerry and Butch are splashed with mud by a passing van. The part removed is the aftermath of the splashing, which leaves the three characters in blackface.

Connections
Featured in Matinee Mouse (1966)

Lyrics by Jack Yellen

Tom the cat, Jerry the mouse, and Spike the Dog (here called Butch, his third name, his second being 'Killer') decide to sign a peace treaty to all love each other. It's weird and a bit unnatural seeing them all buddy buddy like this and their friend's seem to think so too. But by the end thanks to a disagreement over a steak, everything is back to normal and all is how it should be. This short is the second one of three on the new Spotlight DVD to be edited and I have no clue why this one was. This cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"
