I know people like to clown on aspects of classic Disney films that don't feel grounded in reality. But I've worked both front and back of house in restaurants of varying quality. And if I found out our line cook or something served a full plate of spaghetti to two dogs in an alley, I would consider that like. Like not good. But possible.
I've said it before, I will say it again. Tramp was shown latter in the movie to be a ratter. It is not at all farfetched to think that he might have once hunted a bunch of rats that threatened the restaurant and so the head chef considers him a valuable ex-employee and friend.
you know, if I ran a restaurant in a city with a rat problem. and there was a stray dog in my area who was a particularly effective ratter. who i wanted to keep hanging around my restaurant in particular. giving him a little treat every time he came around would be just about the first thing i tried.
and then it's only a matter of time until I get attached enough that playing violin for a dog date stops sounding too outlandish
