Plot: Bugs Bunny runs a nightclub during World War II. When he gets tangled up in a plot involving secret documents, he must choose between helping his old flame, Kitty Ketty, or maintaining his cherished neutrality.
Name and role: This short needed to fill in the background of its nightclub scenes, so it brought in a whole bunch of Looney Tunes characters as bar patrons or workers. Among them was Barnyard Dawg
Trivia and other appearances: Barnyard Dawg appears in more than 20 classic shorts and a ton of other productions, including full-length features like Space Jam.

Space Jam
Release date: 1996-11-10
Plot: Basketball legend Michael Jordan teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to win a wild basketball game against alien villains called the Monstars. The aliens stole NBA players' talents, so it's up to Jordan and the Tunes to slam, jam, and bring the chaos. It's sports meets cartoons in the most 90s crossover ever.
Name and role: Dawg starts off just like we'd expect: whacking poor Foghorn Leghorn around like it's any other Tuesday. But surprise! He also suits up with the ToonSquad and hits the court. We never really see him do much during the game, but hey... he's there.
Trivia and other appearances: Here's the real kicker though: in the official Space Jam action figure line, Dawg is one of the featured characters. Which is wild, considering his role in the film is basically glorified background noise. Meanwhile, several way more prominent characters didn't get figures at all.
