Real firefighters were on set during this entire sequence as a safety precaution, and all smoke was water-based and away from the dog. This sequence was filmed in multiple cuts and with a blue screen for shots of Rex barking on the burning roof.
Production built a foot long, foot wide, foot high rooftop set on the studio lot with stunt pads placed around the base to cushion any unscripted landings. One trainer remained offscreen on a table beneath the dog while another handler worked on the set top with Rex. Both the dog and the stuntman who catches Rex prepared extensively for this jump.
According to the Safety Representative monitoring the shot, the Irish terrier was jumping to his food bowl on the table below, but the stuntman kept catching him before he got there! The dog was released by one trainer and encouraged to bite and hang on to the padded sleeve of a costumed handler for a maximum of eight seconds.
The jump to the life net involved both visual effects and live animal action. The real Rex stood on a five-foot-high platform and a trainer cued him to jump into the middle of the life net. Actors held this safety tarp three feet above the ground, which then required only a two-foot vertical jump from the dog.
Once Shane and Connor bring Rex home, there is chaos. The false wall that he brushed against slightly was flexible and the dog was not bothered by this contact at all. To create dog-friendly dust bunnies, a bit of nontoxic material used to pad furniture cushions was ground up in a coffee grinder and thrown into the air as Rex ran into the bathroom.
The Irish terrier sat on an apple box in the bathtub and was cued by a trainer to push down on the faucet; as he did so, a crew member off camera turned on the water. In another scene, Rex jumps onto a counter in the pantry and reaches up to a high shelf for a bag of beef jerky, knocking over an offscreen wine rack. The wine rack was wired to the wall to allow limited horizontal movement without falling. One sequence features a canine agility course. Safety protocols in place for this sequence included having the background crowd mime their cheering and clapping; checking all agility equipment for sturdiness and proper setup; securing all light obstacles; walking the grounds to check for debris and holes; and having all dogs handled by their owners.

Shane confronts his dad, the station captain, Captain Connor Fahey played by Bruce Greenwood , who is currently dealing with a crisis.
His station, engine 55, also known as Dogpatch, is notoriously late when dispatching and responding to fires, leading to bad publicity. As the siren blares for yet another fire, the Dogpatch crew, engine 55, arrive last at the scene due to a faulty fire engine.
Dogpatch is in competition against fire station Greenpoint who is always first to dispatch and is led by Jessie Presley. Engine 55 arrives at the fire with Shane who spots Rexxx, on the roof of the burning building. Rexxx jumps from the roof onto a trampoline held by the firefighters. Dogpatch temporarily takes the dog, who they call Dewy because of his ID tag, while Capt. Fahey orders Shane to make found dog fliers. When they return to the station, Capt.
Fahey's friend Zachary Hayden a former firefighter who now works for the city informs him the city manager intends to shutdown the firehouse.
Fahey asks Zach to buy them time. At home, Shane makes the fliers with frustration due to Dewey, who never stands still at camera, cleans Shane's room, and steals Shane's bed. The next day, while Shane is putting up the fliers, Dewy does some special stunts with Shane's skateboard.
Amazed, Shane brings him to the firefighter's picnic where there is a dog stunt competition, very similar to dog agility. After watching his friend J. Jessie Presey's daughter compete flawlessly with Greenpoint's female dalmation Sparky, Shane decides to try it out. The whole crew is surprised as he effortlessly maneuvers the course, beating Sparky's time by several seconds. Dewy is about to win until he reaches the last obstacle, a ring with flames where he stops, apparently unwilling to jump through for fear of fire but actually mesmerized by Sparky, who looks similar to his ex-girlfriend.
His time runs out, and Dogpatch is still proud of Dewy and Shane, despite being taunted by Greenpoint for losing. Shane half-heartedly congratulates J. With less than a week left until closing, the Dogpatch crew and Shane bond with Dewy, who happens to have a special talent for rescuing people trapped in fires.
Shane asks one of Dogpatch's firefighters why Dogpatch is closing. He tells Shane that all the houses and buildings of the dying town have either been sold or burnt. Months earlier, his uncle and Captain of Dogpatch, Marc Fahey, had gotten killed in a saw mill fire which was suspected to be arson.
While the firefighters begin to pack, Zach returns and informes them that Dogpatch does not have to close because Dewy has raised the station's publicity. Everyone is happy. While looking through the captain's office, Shane takes the sawmill mystery upon himself and examines the evidence. One of the photos is of a wrist watch, which was used to start the sawmill fire. Also, he organizes his dad's push pin map of fires into a map on a computer.
