Plot.

Mickey's hunting, along with a characteristically playful and distracted (and uncharacteristically talkative) Pluto. Pluto fetches a forked branch, and Mickey shoots, mistaking it for antlers, but Pluto is OK. Then they find a moose, and Mickey's gun fails but they escape when Pluto does an impression of Dumbo, with Mickey riding.

Wiki.

The Moose Hunt is a Mickey Mouse short animated film first released on April 30, 1931, as part of the Mickey Mouse film series. It was the twenty-eighth Mickey Mouse short to be produced and the fourth of that year.

This is the first cartoon to feature Pluto as Mickey's pet – in his previous appearance, 1930's The Picnic, he was called "Rover" and lived with Minnie Mouse. The cartoon is dominated by Pluto's antics, he gets a minute and a half of solo screen time.

Pluto speaks three times in the cartoon – crying "Mammy!", telling Mickey to "Kiss me!" and pointing out "The moose!" Except for one more "mammy" at the end of Mickey Steps Out, Pluto never speaks again.
