The title to this cartoon is the name of a song, sung by a parrot in this story. The message is that the bird is happy in the pet shop, where all his needs are met, so why deal with the outside world?
He sings that to Popeye after our "am-inal" (his pronunciation) lover gives the pet shop owner $500 to let loose all the dogs in the store. There are probably 20 to 30 of the mutts. There are some good sight gags with that transaction as the owner, Olive Oyl (who doesn't know Popeye in this story) tries to figure out how much all the pets are worth.
Anyway, in no time the free-running dogs are all rounded up by the dog catcher (do they still have them?) and Popeye has to dig into his wallet to save the pooches, once again. The irony is that he finally brings them all back to the store and the parrot says, "See, I told ya!," and then sings his song again. Even Popeye has to laugh, now.
No, it's not a very funny cartoon but it's extremely "cute" and likable and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
