But if no one adopts him,
they'll put him down.
Someone will adopt him.
You're a jerk!
Bill.
Are you taking
a snack for later?
Okay, there's your bed.
Good night.
What? You're gonna
leave him with all
these creepy animals?
Creepy animals?
They're all
very professional.
They're gonna
be fast friends.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
You stay right there.
This is your bed.
You're hanging out
with these guys
for the night, okay?
Night, Beethoven.
Bye, creepy animals.

WOMAN: Hey,
keep that dog quiet!
TICK: Frizzy, my poor
stressed-out
little movie star.
You got your appetite back.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah. Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
She's eating a sandwich,
like a person.
Is that my sandwich?
Bad dog. Bad dog.
(DOOR OPENING)
TICK: It's him.
Idiots.
Hey, boss.
I didn't see you there.
How's it going?
Hey, boss.
Do you have the ransom?
No, I don't have the ransom.
Would anyone like to ask me
why I don't have the ransom?
Why don't you
have the ransom?
Because they didn't pay it!
(ANIMALS CHATTERING)
I mean, why would they pay it
when they have
not shot one frame
of film with Frizzy,
the bichon frise?
(BARKING)
Clearly, you have to
wait for the dog to be
important to the movie,
preferably a star,
before you kidnap the dog
and hold it for ransom.
Otherwise, it's just a dog.
Right.
Wait a minute.
This was your plan.
Didn't you set the schedule?
That's a lie.
It was his idea.
What?
Anyway, I do have a plan,
one that will work.
Okay.
We wait.
We wait 10 days,
10 shooting days,
and then we dognap
the new dog.
Then they have to pay.
They think
they can outsmart me,
Sal Demarco,
the greatest animal trainer
in the history of Hollywood,
the man who taught
a chicken to fly
and a cat to come
when it's called.
Well, they can think again.
They can think again!
Wait, chickens don't fly.
Shut up.
EDDIE: Well, good morning.
How did you sleep?
Such a sweet little animal.
Adorable.
But don't worry.
We're taking you
to a nice new home,
and you can sleep
all you want there.
Come on.
All right, come on, doggy.
Let's go. Inside.
Hey. No. Hey.
Doggy, doggy, doggy. Doggy!
Come on. In the truck.
(GRUNTING)
No, no. Come back.
Come on. Doggy!
It's Beethoven.
I'm sorry. Beethoven.
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
I think he should
ride up front with us.
Us?
Well, if you're
taking my new best friend
to the pound,
I think I get to go.
Okay.
Fine. Fine.
You can say goodbye.
I think he should
ride up front.
Up front? Never.
Animals ride in the back.
(SIGHS)
Stay here.
I'm gonna go get Pete.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
I mean it.
Stay right here in the truck.
(DOGS BARKING)
I don't get it.
Got no charisma.
I mean,
do you really think
this guy is a star?
Yes. Yes, I do.
I think you could
call him Pappy,
Pappy the Pug.
(YAWNS)
Poochie? Puggy?
I think he lost his mind.
Next!
You blew it.
(WHINES)
Okay, which one of
you mongrels is next?
Sal.
What are doing here?
Well, I came to get
my things and Pete.
Pete? Pete?
Don't know Pete.
Who's next?
I am.
You've got to be kidding.
But he has
the heart of a wolf.
Pete is the lizard.
What lizard?
My lizard.
I see.
You lose my movie star
but you're interested
in your lizard.
I didn't lose anybody.
You know I had
nothing to do with that.
All of your things
are underneath
the stairwell.
If you have a lizard,
that's where it would be.
You mean you
didn't even feed him?
I've had a lot of
things on my mind. Next.
Pete.
Pete.
Pete, are you all right?
BILLY: These are just
a bunch of mutts.
You're 10 times the dog,
Beethoven.
Dad found Pete.
I was worried
about you, buddy.
Is he all right?
Yeah. Pete's doing just fine.
Aren't you, Pete?
(EDDIE GROANS)
(BARKING)
Beethoven!
Pete!
BILLY: Come back!
Beethoven! No!
Hey,
