Awful Orphan is a 1949 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. A sequel to the 1947 Looney Tunes short Little Orphan Airdale, The Awful Orphan stars Charlie Dog, who goes to great lengths to convince Porky Pig that he is an ideal pet. Porky tries a number of methods to try and rid himself of the annoying animal, but Charlie easily defies him every time.

The short is included as part of the Looney Tunes Premiere Collection DVD and the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.

[edit] Trivia

Charlie Dog sounds a little like Bugs Bunny.

[edit] Censorship

• The entire sequence where Charlie Dog poses as an abandoned baby at Porky's doorstep, Porky kicking the basket with Charlie Dog away, and Charlie Dog entering the apartment as an old woman who beats Porky with an umbrella for the despicable thing he's done was cut on ABC, making it look like that Porky was thrown out of the apartment (off-screen) when throwing Charlie Dog out.
