Synopsis
Mother Mack, a Scottish terrier, has a litter of seven puppies. Her owners decide to keep the smallest puppy and give the others away. What's unusual about this film is that the puppies are given away to black families, Hispanic families and Asian families--three groups of people that were seldom if ever seen in classroom films, let alone mainstream productions.

Poor Mother Mack. Having all her children callously wrested away from her. The film features little other than puppies romping. And two cats. There's nothing spectacular here. Some of the homes where the puppies move are a little run down. Mother Mack has her own theme song. As in her earlier film, this short opens with Tinkerbell by King Palmer (Paxton PR401).
