* ChekhovsSkill: Inverted. Pinkerton miserably fails every command his obedience class tries to teach him. He shreds a newspaper he's supposed to fetch, jumps out a window when told to come, and licks the burglar dummy he's supposed to attack. However, his owner uses "fetch" and "come" to get rid of a real burglar.
