No Dogs Allowed

No Dogs Allowed

"No Dogs Allowed" is a song from the 1972 Peanuts film musical, "Snoopy Come Home". It is sung by Thurl Ravenscroft and was written by Robert and Richard Sherman.

The song is a non-sync recording. It was orchestrated by Vine Street music composer and arranger, Don Ralke. [Robert B. Sherman, "Walt's Time: From Before to Beyond", 1998, p 169.]

Veiled message

The lyric is a thinly veiled commentary about discrimination. As songwriter/lyricist Bob Sherman describes it:cquote|When we moved into Beverly Hills as boys in 1937, houses and apartments for rent would hang signs which read, 'No Colored, Jews or Dogs Allowed.' Of course all that changed after the war. [Robert B. Sherman, "Walt's Time: From Before to Beyond", 1998, p 169.]
