Dogs put people to sleep these days?

In this installment of the apparently endless "Beethoven"-series,Beethoven,the bad-behaving dog gets switched with another,good-behaving dog owned by some rich folks.Laughing already,kids?Now think,what hilarious consequences can this have?What's the first thing you thought about?Yep,it's in this movie.Now think of a second thing.Yep,totally in it.If you can think of a third thing,you're able to write a better screenplay,which isn't a compliment.In the mean time,some bad guys try to do something(they always gotta do something),probably get a job in a better movie,like "Home Alone 7" or "Kazaam",but the dog probably ruined their plans,cause that's just what that dog does,except annoying us,drooling,creating remarkably unfunny chaosses,barking(that's such a dog cliché),eating,sleeping and writing screenplays.Or maybe that was just some guy who really hates children,can't tell.And look at what Judge Reinhold is willing to do to pay his bills these days.Or better yet,don't.Lassie would turn around in his garden.
