They're actually saying the dogs name as it was. And so it should be. I know it's offensive to some, but it became ridiculous when his name was dubbed out.

Yes, I just watched it, and was also pleased to see they kept his name in.

I'm surprised the film hasn't been edited the way "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Fantasia", and some other older films have the remove the "offensive" content. We're such a society of pussies these days that often history has to be sanitized to protect the feelings of the weak.

Well said! Honestly, in those days there were thousands of dogs with that name. It's PC gone mad, I tells ya!
