Editor's Note: An anthropomorphized police dog must go undercover as a show dog and in order to do so he must submit to the inspection and handling of his genitalia. The dog is very reluctant and is instructed to imagine his "Zen place" in order to get through the obviously distressing inspection. While these scenes are not presented in a sexual context, the implication of the character's initial reluctance and eventual submission is evocative of the concept of "grooming" that refers to a predator, specifically a sexual predator, establishing trust with potential victims in order to make them vulnerable and easier to victimize. The presentation of the dog's genitalia inspection as something he must get through, despite his evident discomfort and reluctance, has the potential of becoming an unwelcome message about limiting bodily autonomy and personal boundaries, especially for children and survivors of abuse. For a discussion about the concept of grooming and how it's presented in this film please see Macaroni Kid and For Every Mom. For a detailed analysis on what grooming is and how to protect children please see the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
