* TalkingAnimal: A weird take on this trope. [[AnimalTalk Animals can talk to each other, but they can't be understood by humans]]. However, some animals are treated as if they're understood by the humans around them, despite the fact that they can't. Max, for example, doesn't have a handler at the precinct he works at until he partners up with Frank and can partake in meetings without people really noticing.

* HappyPlace: An unintentionally disturbing example. In order for Max to endure having his genitals touched during the dog show, he goes through this trope, with his happy place being a parody of ''Film/DirtyDancing'' where he dances with Frank.
