Featured Animal Action
Ronni and Roper's dog, Troy, is seen in several scenes where he is lying on the floor, running from A to B, or sitting in the front seat of a truck. For all of these scenes the dog was placed on his mark and cued by his trainer either with a verbal or hand command. When the dog is in the truck, a trainer was lying on the floor of the truck to cue the dog when necessary. There is a scene where Roper and Troy enter the apartment and Troy, sensing something wrong, runs towards the back door, barking. The dog jumps up, placing his paws on the door as he continues to bark. Trainer #2 released the dog and he ran to the door where trainer #1, on the other side of the door, cued the dog to jump up and bark. When the actor opens the door the dog exits going to trainer #1. Other animal action consists of some seagulls seen at a distance from the inside of a warehouse window. Then there are some horses seen at a race track being walked around before the race and also seen while racing.
