11!!Tropes for the film:
12
13* AsHimself: Cesar Millan.
14* FateDrivesUsTogether: The movie uses this trop as the two main characters keep running into each other early in the film.
15* PregnancyTestPlot: Also adds a little more anxious waiting as the dog grabs the EPT prior to a result being displayed. When the dog finally barfs back up the broken pieces, she finds out that she in fact expecting.
16* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Zoe goes into labor, but miraculously stops having contractions to have some important dialogue with Stan.
17* ZipMeUp: An uncommon version: the action in question is Stan removing the store tag Zoe forgot to remove from her new dress. Aside from that variation it's played very straight: she pulls her hair aside to bare her neck, he stands behind her and removes the tag, it's all very {{UST}}y.
