 Talking Animal
 Show Dogs / int_1f14978d
comment
 Talking Animal: A weird take on this trope. Animals can talk to each other, but they can't be understood by humans. However, some animals are treated as if they are understood by the humans around them, despite the fact that they can't. Max, for example, doesn't have a handler at the precinct he works at, until he partners up with Frank and can partake in meetings without people really noticing.

 Partially Civilized Animal: The animals in the film can talk and some display anthropomorphic behaviour; for instance, the film features a scene of a dog dabbing.

 Happy Place

comment
 Happy Place: An unintentionally disturbing example. In order for Max to endure having his genitals touched during the dog show, he goes through this trope, with his happy place being a parody of Dirty Dancing where he dances with Frank.

 Shout-Out: The film features a lot of pop-culture-related humor; one joke involves a tiger making a Life of Pi reference.

 Orwellian Retcon: The Happy Place scene and the scenes leading up to it were removed for the theatrical release after the second week and for the home release after complaints were made about it.

 Traveling at the Speed of Plot: Two pigeons manage to follow Max from New York to Las Vegas over the course of a day. Pigeons can only travel up to 700 miles in single day at up to 90 mph, yet these two manage to fly over 2,000 miles in the span of 24 hours.
