"Thank u for saving my hide" --this is also a line from the movie 'Garfield'. The little dog Odie saved Garfield's life when a huge dog Luca was trying to beat or eat the cat. However, after that, Garfield still kept being unfriendly with Odie...

Garfield says 'Thank u for saving my hide!' to Odie.
