Toby the dog was way cool

Another cool thing about that sceen was Jeff stepped out of the red car, all freaked out. Almost got ran over by a car, then sat on the curve.
Kurt Russel was desperately trying to get ahold of Jeff, but the walkie talkie was in still in the car (way before the days of cell phones).
Toby Brings the walkie talkie, out ot Jeff who is sitting beside the raod.
Then Kurt Russel convinces, Jeff it's really a grey car.
So Jeff, jumps the train.

What a brilant dog, he is always doing cool things through out this movie to save the day. Including showing the gang, that the car buried in the pit, has been discoverd.

What a cool dog, who is on top oif stuff !!!!

Thanks for this trivia it's fascinating. I loved Toby and that film.
I'm curious where did you get this info.
I would love to do more research on the film myself.

Although I know the dog wasn't dead,(the first time I saw the movie, I thought he was dead at first, I forgot about the setup) That performance by Jeff made me cry!! Call me a crybaby, but I love animals and hate to see them hurt.

Toby was a lovable little dog. :)

Did y'all notice in the scene where the "Demolition Derby: guy shows up to trash the '57 Chevy, as we walking around the office looking for a salesman he looks in and Toby is sitting on the desk staring intently at the TV? His favorite show must've been on. LOL

Movie animals are never listening or reacting to the other actors. They only respond to their trainer, who is just off camera. He or she uses hand signals or ultrasonic (dog) whistle to direct the animal, most of the time. You should read up on Rudd Weatherwax (Lassie).

Very cute dog.
