A sequel to the 1947 Looney Tunes short Little Orphan Airedale, The Awful Orphan stars Charlie Dog, who goes to great lengths to convince Porky Pig that he is an ideal pet.
The cartoon's story (which is essentially a re-working of Bob Clampett's 1941 short Porky's Pooch) is about a dog named Rags McMutt, who has just escaped from the dog pound and accidentally meets Charlie, an old friend of his in a car he used as a hiding place.

In 1996, Time Warner bought Turner, allowing WB to regain ownership of the a.a.p. cartoon package (technically held by Turner and WB's TV division), and then acquired video rights in 1999.
