* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: During the road-trip montage, he and his friends enjoy rain falling on them while on top of a vehicle.

* ''FirstInjuryReaction'': Bolt's paw bleeds a bit after he and Mittens jump out of a moving truck. Since [[FishOutOfWater he's been living in a recording studio all his life]] and has never been in any real danger, he's confused by this leakage of "red liquid". [[CatsAreSnarkers Mittens]] is incredulous that he doesn't know what blood is by now, but Bolt mistakenly believes that styrofoam is his KryptoniteFactor.

* NervesOfSteel: His time on the show has thrown so many improbable situations at him, with him effortlessly taking them out, that it's given him a tremendous amount of bravery. [[spoiler:His replacement was raised as a much more normal dog, realistically whining and cowering when put into a dangerous situation, leading to tragedy and Penny being put in ''real'' danger; Bolt wastes no time saving her despite the risk.]]
