Where are the Dogs in Whoville?

The most wonderful time of the year has begun. Last night my wife and baby and I began the annual ritual of the watching of the Christmas videos -- all the old cartoons and Claymation specials, along with Christmas movies galore.

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a particular favorite, and is almost always our first pick. I've seen it dozens of times. Yet last night I noticed something new. In scene where the Grinch is cleaning out the first Who family's house, he's shown taking the roast beast out of the fridge. Now, I may be mistaken, but what's on the platter looks conspicuously like a dog.

That would explain why no barking Who-dogs raised the alarm over the Grinch's shenanigans, wouldn't it?
