Continuity mistake: When Lois attack the guard down in the dam, she hits his face, which causes the black cap that the guard is wearing to begin to fall off. Yet in the next shot the hat is firmly back on his head, before it is completely knocked off by Lois' next hit. (02:23:00)
Continuity mistake: When Chloe finds Lois stabbed in the dam, we see Lois on the floor with her arm hanging so that her hand is right beside the stab wound. However in the next close up of the wound, her hand isn't there. It's back beside it in the next shot. (02:28:20)
Continuity mistake: When the Phantom child kills the doctor and drags him over to the fingerprint scanner to open the door, we see the doctor has no glove on his hand when it is placed on the scanner. But when his arm drops to the floor, there is a glove on his hand now. (02:32:35)

Answer: In the comics, Krypto is a dog from Krypton who was used as the passenger in a test launch by Jor-El, Superman's father, before he launched the actual rocket taking his infant son to Earth. Krypto's capsule was involved in a mishap, sending it out of Kryptonian orbit and eventually found its way to Earth where he linked up with the young Clark Kent. Like any native of Krypton, Krypto has superpowers on Earth. In Smallville, the dog is a standard Earth dog who has been experimentally injected with kryptonite, giving him super-strength for a limited period of time, who escapes and links up with Clark (who suggests the name Krypto, ostensibly because of the dog's cryptic origins). It doesn't take too long for the dog's strength to fade, and the Kents decide to keep him, although they ultimately name him Shelby, after a dog that Martha Kent had in childhood.
