Dlutopia

Dlutopia is a short starring Matthew Mouse and Dluto that was released on September 22, 1951.

Synopsis
Matthew's on vacation at Camp Utopia. At first, Dluto thinks it really is utopia: trees everywhere and a cat to chase. But the cabin rules are strict: no dogs indoors and dogs must be muzzled and leashed. Matthew puts Dluto out to sleep, just out of reach of his food and Jimmy comes down and taunts him. Dluto falls asleep and dreams of his "Dlutopia" with a subservient Jimmy begging Dluto to bite him and catering to his every need.
