Dogs and cat "improvised" a lot before the camera, so many takes were made for each scene before getting good results for congruent editing.

Dogs and cat made some unexpected moves during the filming, so the writer, Yusef Printsev, had to create additional lines for human actors and for translator of the animals' thoughts (Lev Lemke).
