What happens
Phil Harris and his family look for a new dog for the children, and Phil's bandleader friends Frankie and Curly get pulled into the search. Alice and William bring home a tiny Mexican chihuahua that the children find disappointing, and Frankie then takes a much larger dog over to the house. The pair soon discover trouble with the animal and try to pass it along to someone else. The episode is from The Phil Harris series, first broadcast on NBC on December 7, 1947, with Phil Harris and Alice Faye in the leads alongside Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon.
The Harris home and the NBC studio, with a neighborhood street and a park in between.

Listen for: Frankie's attempts to get rid of the large dog after it turns out to be a problem.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
