description: Doctor De Soto, the dentist, with the aid of his able assistant, Mrs. De Soto, copes with the toothaches of animals large and small. His expertise is so great that his fortunate patients never feel any pain. Since he's a mouse, Doctor De Soto refuses to treat "dangerous" animals--that is, animals who have a taste for mice. But one day a fox shows up and begs for relief from the tooth that's killing him. How will the kindhearted doctor handle this?
