Why do you think Petie left?

[Mark]

After 1936, Pete the dog was either seen only somewhere out there in the background or he was out of the show completely. As much as the dog with the ring around his eye was a trademark for Our Gang, I don't understand why they would take him out of the series.

Perhaps the reason was explained in the book, but I haven't read it in a while and I'm out of town as I write.

Maybe because they switched to one-reelers, and they didn't have room for the dog bits.

Maybe whoever was caring for the dog left the business, or Roach didn't want to pay the dog's salary?
