Remade in 1957 as "Bugsy and Mugsy", with Bugs in the mouse's place and many of the same gags reused.
All three characters, were also in most popular 'giant mouse' cartoon, of Hippety Hopper (1949). The mouse almost committed suicide, but it was rescued by the joey, (baby kangaroo). Then, the mouse & its "top secret weapon" defeated both Sylvester, the Cat and Mike, the Bulldog. After being deeply embarrassing, Mike (the Bulldog), by pinning its ears back together, Mike and Sylvester start ballet dancing, as short concludes.
The bulldog's name is Mike. Sylvester mentioned the dog's name once & the scheming mouse said 'Mike', four times.
