This is a Farmer Al Falfa cartoon from Terrytoons. There will be spoilers ahead:
This cartoon is actually more like "Hares Hounding Al Falfa". The short starts with the radio announcement of the beginning of hunting season at noon today. Farmer Al Falfa's dog then wakes him up so they can go hunting.
Meanwhile, the rabbits are listening to the radio and begin celebrating when they hear hunting season starts, which should clue you in to it being a long day for the hunter and his dog. Al and his dog come up and the rabbits take their radio and hide in a tree. There are some time-related gags involving a clock and then the race is on.
Most of the rest of the cartoon is the rabbits making Al and his dog look very stupid. The dog pretends to be a rabbit (against his will) and that ends in disaster. The best bits surround the dog winding up in a box trap and coming out in a box shape. It's actually pretty entertaining stuff The closing gag is good.
This short deserves to be more widely known.
