Revealing mistake: When Danny DeVito brings home the 'bigger dog' he says for the new dog to go eat the little dog that always bothers him. He lets the dog go and the dog goes after the little one. But when they show the dog chasing the little one he almost runs right past him. There must have been a trainer on the other side of the set calling the dogs to come over because he wasn't chasing the little dog. (00:40:30)
