Here is the other Droopy cartoon that I adore; I laugh nearly every time I see this short, especially at the last ten seconds of the story. I'd recommend you watch the video though at Dailymotion, because the Youtube clip's audio is delayed by about a second, and although it is a miniscule amount, it really detracts alot from the "sight and bang" gags. Enjoy.


Interesting bit of trivia that relates to the "Bugsy and Mugsy" + "Stooge for a Mouse":
This cartoon was re-done about seven years later as Millionaire Droopy with little changed, for reasons I can only guess at. Millionaire Droopy is the ultimate "cheater" short, in my opinion. A "cheater" is a short where much of the short is comprised of cribbed scenes from other cartoons, with some new animation as a framing device around it to make a "new" cartoon. This was done so that distribution contracts could be adhered to when they fell behind the production schedule (as they inevitably did), as a cheater required less time to produce than a completely new short did. While a good cartoon, Wags To Riches wasn't good enough to be cloned! Good to see it's in print, though. Well worth watching.
