* AllDogsArePurebred: Winston starts off as a stray Boston Terrier puppy, a dog pretty unlikely to be a stray to say the least (in part due to the breed frequently being unable to give birth without human assistance).
* BlandNameProduct: Winston's dog food brand is called Ames, probably based on the real-life pet food brand Iams (even having the same font style).
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: [[spoiler:James and Kirby are reading a book with a picture of a DeliveryStork on the cover and James rolls in a carriage about twenty seconds before Winston finds they have a baby now.]]

* HollywoodGenetics: [[spoiler:James and Kirby both have dark hair, but their son is blond (their later daughter is too young to have visible hair). It's ''possible'' if both of them carry recessive genes for it, but not likely.]]
Added DiffLines:
* SilenceIsGolden: Since the short is from the perspective of a normal, minimally-anthropomorphic dog (literally, as we don't see most of the humans past the knees), there's very little talking.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 48 (click to see context) from:
* {{Symbolism}}: The audience hardly sees James or Kirby's face, giving a sense of how self-centered Winston is and how solely focused on food he is. This is [[UpToEleven brought home]] when Winston savors eating human food once more, all while James grieves over his break-up with Kirby. When Winston finally sees James' ([[HeroicBSOD unhappy]]) face for the first time in the story, it marks the moment he becomes more self-aware of the people in his life. From this moment on, Winston (and the audience) see more of James and Kirby's faces, signifying he's more involved in their lives.
