Dopey Dick

Dopey Dick is a Looney Tunes character. 
== About Dopey Dick ==
He is a man-eating shark who's been chasing Yosemite Sam since he was stranded on an island for twenty years. Sam must cross the water between this island and a tiny nearby island with the only source of food, a coconut tree. Crossing between the islands, however, is always difficult gathering coconuts because of Dopey Dick. Sam manages to get rid of the shark, who jumps after him on land, only by having a mallet ready on the tree with which to whack the shark back. On his way back to his island, he's chased again by the shark, but this time has a baseball bat ready to whack the shark. Sam mutters that the shark has tried getting him for twenty years, but misses every time. 
The shark nearly gets Sam on his way to his wrecked ship, but Sam distracts the shark with a bone as if the shark was a dog, goes back to the ship, and gets back to land. After Bugs washes up on the island, Dopey Dick suddenly appears in Sam's cooking pot. When he checks the pot, the shark jumps out and starts eating Sam, but Sam manages to whack the shark with a mallet - soon whacking himself, when the shark jumps off. 
Sam tries riding a surfboard to the ship, but is almost swallowed by the shark. Next, Sam decides to outsmart both Bugs and the shark by tying a balloon around his waist and floating to the ship. However, Bugs opens a hatch that Sam floats into, with the shark waiting for him inside. Sam then manages to beat the shark back again.
A tidal wave sweeps across the island. Bugs is safe in the pot, but Sam is being chased by Dopey Dick. Bugs uses a pike pole to start pulling Sam in, but then tells Sam that he'll only keep him up if they make a deal. Sam eventually relents. The deal is that Bugs will keep Sam on the end of the pole to keep Sam above water, while Sam paddles. Sam looks back and sees the shark behind them and starts paddling faster.
