Gold Rush Daze

Gold Rush Daze is a 1939 Merrie Melodies short directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton.
== Title ==
The title is a play on "gold rush days."
== Plot ==
A hound dog drives to the hills to dig for gold. However, a gas station hound explains that, in 1849, there was a major gold rush in the hills at the first sight of gold, and he didn't have any success digging, mining, or panning any gold. When a horseman reports a sign of gold, the station hound trades his gas station for the other hound's car and equipment.
