Weasel Stop is a 1955 Foghorn Leghorn animated short film from Warner Bros. released in February 1956 and directed by Robert McKimson. The cartoon is unusual in that a different dog (instead of the Barnyard Dawg) is used as Foghorn's nemesis. The title is a pun on the phrase "whistle stop".
Plot
A shaggy dog (played by Lloyd Perryman, former vocalist with The Sons of the Pioneers[1]) is the guard at a farm's chicken coop when a lip-smacking weasel comes along, intending to gain access to the chickens. And, never one to side with a canine, Foghorn Leghorn opts to help the weasel by trying to violently remove the guard dog. The rooster sicks the dog on the weasel and vice versa in a number of chases, but winds up by losing all its feathers in a hay baling machine. The cartoon ends with Foghorn saying "Fortunately, I always keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency," a line used in several Warner Bros. Cartoons.
