Examples of Pet the Dog in Theatre.


  • Compared to the end of the movie, where he graduated with no honors, no girlfriend, and no job, Warner in Legally Blonde instead dropped out of law school and started a successful modeling career. Also, whereas in the film, his last scene consists of Elle bluntly rejecting him, in the show, she lets him down gently, and they even hug.
  • "The Policeman's Song" in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance laments that even thieves and murderers love the simple, pure English countryside.
    When the enterprising burglar's not a-burgling
    When the cutthroat isn't occupied in crime
    He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling
    And listen to the merry village chime
    When the coster's finished jumping on his mother
    He loves to lie a-basking in the sun
    Taking one consideration with another
    A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
