As the movie starts, the dog is incredibly attentive, and seems to understand: smiles at the jokes, whines at the sad parts, etc. As the movie ends, the first man turns to the dog owner and says "Excuse me, but your dog seems incredibly intelligent. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he enjoyed the movie." The dog owner turns to him and says, "I was surprised too! He hated the book."
