Overly Narrow Superlative: Dug wins an award for "Best Joke Told By a Dog". Presumably (given that his thought-translating collar isn't in common use) he was also the only contestant.

comment
Black Comedy: In "Squirrel!", after Dug causes all of Squirrel's nuts to roll down a sewer grate, he crawls up to Dug, opens Dug's mouth, and sticks his head in it. Dug also generally hopes Squirrel will die soon, though he doesn't want to be the one to do it. In "Flowers", Dug has a dream that starts with him floating through a Fluffy Cloud Heaven. One of the beautiful visions he passes is a tree full of dead squirrels (though, since this is TV-G rated, the squirrels just lie there with cartoonish X-ed out eyes rather than anything graphic).

Easter Egg
 Dug Days / int_29a39f6
comment
Easter Egg: Carl and Dug's house number, 333, was a reference to Bob Peterson's grandparents' home. The ferris wheel in the distance in "Flowers" is the same one from Toy Story 4. The house itself is full of references to Up: The baseball cap that hangs on Carl's coat rack has the initials "JR", for Up producer Jonas Rivera. One of Dug's chew toys is a reference to the stars from La Luna.

Out of Focus: Russell only appears in the "Science" short, where he shows up at the beginning and end, and is absent from the others, due to Jordan Nagai having aged out of the role and the studio using archived recordings of him.

comment
Dogs Love Fire Hydrants: Justified in "Smell", when Dug gets distracted by the fire hydrant while investigating the strange smell. He is able to smell the other dogs (and one human) that have peed there recently. Exaggerated in "Flowers", when Dug's dream fantasy includes a giant fire hydrant.

comment
Continuity Nod: The opening credits starts off with Carl selling Muntz's airship and using the money to buy a new house. The weather vane looks like Kevin and her chicks. Carl places a picture of him and Ellie on the mantle in the opening credits. Dug is still the Alpha. Dug finds squirrels "getting dead" funny. Muntz is referenced in passing in "Science". Russell still has the "Ellie" badge. Russell mentions "Mr. Muntz", the villain from Up while reverse-engineering his voice collar.

Who's on First?: In "Smell" when Dug digs under the fence, he proudly proclaims that he "digged" it, Carl tries to correct him by pointing out that he "dug" it. But Dug thinks that Carl is referring to him by name.
