Trivia
While discussing the bizarre crime they are investigating, Captain Brass mentions to D.B. that they once had a case where a cheerleader ate another cheerleader's stomach while high on PCP. This is a reference to CSI season 3, episode 3 "Let the Seller Beware."

Goofs
In French, as in many other languages, there is a distinction between a "formal you" and an "informal you". You use the second to address, for example, domestic animals. Here we have a dog born and trained in France, who will now accept orders in French. But the orders he is seen to be given all use the formal you. They say, for instance, "Venez" for "Viens" (Come!) or "Asseyez-vous" for "Assieds-toi" (Sit down!)

The formal "you" could be out of respect for the dog's position as an officer of law enforcement.

SAM THE DOG WAS THE BEST ACTOR OF THIS EPISODE

Sam the Dog, was the best Actor of this episode (along with my favorite Paul Guilfoyle-The Local Stigmatic,1990) but Sam the Dog did not receive credit in the cast. I don't like when animals receive no credit. Film and TV industry must take care of this matter. All living creatures must be included in an era of "inclusion". Don't forget thet Animals have been a very important asset for films and TV series-Disney has been one of the first "users" of Animals many many years ago, when there was no "special efects", Disney used highly trained Animals for their purpose. Nowadays with their "special efects", the industry humanize Animals, which I do not like it at all, and it is less the effort of the Animal Trainers and the naturality of the acting Animals, it is a pity.
