Yes, the father-and-son bulldogs do appear in this "Tom and Jerry" cartoon. In fact, Tyke makes his first appearance - although he has not yet acquired a name. Incidentally, Spike's name does not appear in this film either. Prior to Love That Pup, he has been called either "Spike" or "Butch" - both confusing names, considering that the monikers have been attached to other MGM cartoon characters as well.
