    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Great care was taken to make sure the animals used in filming were not harmed. Measures taken included many trick shots, multiple cuts, and even a mechanical dog/dog suit in order to achieve scenes.
    • Goofs
      When Ted and Rice are playing Super Mario Brothers 3, they are both mashing away on controllers; however, when it shows the close-up of the screen, we see that they're only playing a one-player game at the time.
    • Quotes
      • George: I really don't like our dog.
      • Alice: I really don't like those people, George. I don't trust them. I don't want their money. I know my opinion doesn't matter, but I'm not interested in expanding. If I had been home instead of helping you impress those morons, Emily wouldn't have fallen in the pool. And I'm not re-entering the work force, George. You're gonna have to do this on your own. And you will. Somehow, you'll make your fortune. And tucked away behind you deep in the shadows will be me and the kids.
      • George: That's how you see me. Suddenly, I'm a lousy husband and father. Everything was just fine until Beethoven came into our lives. I've tried to be patient, but I've had it. The dog has to go.
      • Alice: I'm proud of Beethoven. Those two idiots insulted your kids, they treated me like dirt, and he was the only one of us who had the nerve to give them the ride they deserved. I'm going to bed.
      • [she heads back inside]
      • George: My dream's going down the drain, and you're worried about a dog.
      • Alice: Your family's going down the drain, and you're worried about a dream.
    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits finish, a short scene plays of Beethoven standing on a rock, silhouetted against a sunset. He barks as the screen fades to black.
