In the beginning, when Harry is transporting the dogs to the dog show and feeding the dogs, He says, "Foot long! Who's got the foot long?". Then, he starts to say "very funny" before he even looks at which dog is showing up. He stops at "very...." then looks, then says the line, "very funny".
If you put the CLOSED CAPTION on you see that Harry is about to say, "There you go..." but he realizes that it's the little dog and THEN says, "Oh, very funny, Rascal."
He TOTALLY looks at the dog before he says ANYTHING to it. Get the tape out people and look more closely. Even if he did say "very" two times, the first time he said it, he had already looked at the dog. What's wrong with saying something two times? When people talk, sometimes they say, " I...I can't do it" or whatever.
Actually, I watched it on closed captioning and Harry says "Here you..." but doesn't get to finish saying here you go...then he looks at the dog, then says "Very funny." I am watching it right now.
