Goofs and Gaffes - Starvation - Scooby snacks

This canine actor expects a tasty reward for their efforts...

Where are we?: As Greg and Abby reflect on the realisation that their search for a home has ended, and that the Grange will play host to their new community, pet dog Ben runs up to Abby and nuzzles her hand.

What's the goof?: Secreted in Carolyn Seymour's hand is a doggie-treat (no doubt provided by animal handler John Holmes) to encourage the canine actor to deliver a good take, which she slips to him on cue. As the camera pans away, 'Ben' can be glimpsed chomping down on his reward.
