He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown is the fifth prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It was originally aired on the CBS network on February 14, 1968. This was also the last Peanuts special featuring the majority of the original voice cast from the first Peanuts special, A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Both He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown and You're in Love, Charlie Brown were nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Achievement in Children's Programming in 1968.
Snoopy is beginning to get into constant mischief, angering the other children in Charlie Brown's neighborhood. They demand that Charlie Brown do something about it "Because he's your dog, Charlie Brown!" Charlie Brown then writes a letter to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, asking them to take Snoopy back and teach him some manners. Snoopy tries pulling sick looks to get out of his punishment, but Charlie Brown tells him it is for his own good. Charlie Brown decides to call Peppermint Patty to ask if she will house Snoopy for a day, as the trip to the farm is too long to take in a single day. Peppermint Patty agrees.
When Snoopy arrives at Peppermint Patty's house, he realizes he has an opportunity to avoid going to obedience school and decides to stay at Patty's house instead. This angers Peppermint Patty, as she begins to get tired of bringing him root beer, and cleaning up his mess, while Snoopy enjoys her swimming pool.
A week later, Charlie Brown receives a phone call from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, telling him that Snoopy never arrived there. Charlie Brown soon finds out that the dog has been staying at Peppermint Patty's for a week. He brings a leash, in hopes he will bring Snoopy home. He attaches the leash to Snoopy's collar but the dog escapes and rushes back to Peppermint Patty's house. However, instead of returning to the easy life he enjoyed before, Peppermint Patty makes the dog become her maid. Later, when his friends start to miss Snoopy, Charlie Brown tries to bring the dog back again, but because he brings the leash, Snoopy just breaks it and refuses to leave.
