In "Of Mood Swings and Food Swings," Jerry and Tuffy think they've found the perfect protector in a gruff, large hound dog—only to discover his mood shifts instantly with a pat or a kind word, turning his tail into a weapon of chaos. With Tom exploiting the dog’s newfound affection through praise and pats, the mice scramble to keep the hound from going soft, launching a battle of wits and tail-wagging tactics. Harvey Eisenberg handles both the interior art and cover pencils, with inks by himself and lettering by Rome Siemon, all under the Western Publishing Production Shop’s coloring.
