* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Drew has a habit of saying he's adopting any dog they find that seems to have been abandoned, mistreated, or so much as ignored as he and Bree do animal checkups around the island. He also renames them all "Bob" regardless of gender. It gets to the point where Bree tells him, both amused and touched by his concern, that if he adopted all the dogs on the island, there would be no room in his house. She also cracks up when telling him the dogs may suffer identity crises if they're all called Bob. Despite saying his way is easier, Drew is also amused when she suggests some names that incorporate Bob while differentiating them.
