Those Two Guys: Officers Ham and Cheats are a pair of bumbling and incompetent cops who, despite being called in to investigate Beary's disappearance, clearly of no use other than pure comic relief throughout the movie.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Big Al's grass in the end. Towards the beginning of the movie, Dexter shows Beary his "birth certificate" (a tracking-collar and remote that park rangers used on him as a baby). Beary takes the collar with him when he runs away from home, but he didn't take the remote; this allows them to track down the bus after Thimble steals it.

Counter-intuitively, it's because he has a failed relationship that he's a surprisingly effective marriage counsellor. People with problems in their marriage see how miserable he is as a single person and they instantly feel better about their own situation.
