Referee #1: Ain't no rules says a dog can't play basketball.
Coach: This is a joke, I mean dogs don't play basketball!
Chaney: What's the matter, afraid your team might get beat by a dog?
Coaches: Put him in.
Referee #1: Does he dribble?
Arthur Chaney: No, but he might drool a little bit.
Revealing mistake: Before Josh tells his mom about Buddy, Buddy starts to push the basketball with nose down the stairs. While he is doing this, you can see the treat put there just before the ball moves.
