* NotWhatItLooksLike: After Shep takes his master's steak, the cat generously places his own meal, fish bones, on the master's plate. Unfortunately, the owner assumes that the cat took his steak and left the bones there to mock him.

After a narrator gives a description of how dogs are loyal companions, we are introduced to an exception - "good ol" Shep, a greedy jerk of a dog who gives the appearance of the perfect dog, but is willing to steal his master's food and even allow the house to be robbed in exchange for a bone; all the while the owner's good-natured cat ends up getting all the blame. When Shep reads about a Scottish champ declared the country's #1 dog, he becomes consumed with jealousy, he goes out to eliminate the competition while the cat follows in an attempt to stop him and expose him for the vile beast that he really is. Unfortunately, as the ending of the cartoon shows, Shep's facade may never be broken.

* {{Deconstruction}}: A deconstruction of the HeroicDog trope. Shep by virtue of being a dog is designated the "great hero", when in reality is a conniving and criminal dog. It reflects in the Aesop: Cats aren't always mean and the Dog isn't always "Man's Best Friend".
