A real dog doesn't need substitute mock barking, last I checked.
is there a television version of this movie? because there are some scenes I don't remember at all after watching it on tv tonight
Yes, actually. When ABC Family shows it they add scenes to make up for commercial time, I presume. Maybe Frank Welker uses his talent with that.
Well dogs can make groans and sounds but they only do so well. Frank is the master of animal noises so when you need a dog to sound more like a dog, you call Frank! "They have a grill, it's this grill. Now you have it...it's called America."
^Gotcha! Thank you
