Walt Disney Showcase #4
In "An Elephant's Best Friend Is His Dog," Pluto forms an unlikely bond with a kind-hearted elephant named Elsie, teaming up to outwit the persistent Butch. When Elsie is caught and the zookeepers come looking, Pluto’s loyalty earns him a rare privilege: special visits to the zoo. Written by Don R. Christensen and brought to life with playful energy by Paul Murry—whose art, inks, and lettering define the story’s charm—this 1971 Western Publishing tale is a sweet, spirited adventure from the Disney Showcase series, with Murry also responsible for the whimsical cover.
