thinking about my favorite columbo anecdote again, regarding the dog- "i didn't know it was going to be that kind of dog"

in Columbo's universe. The actor famously balked at the idea of the dog when the episode director Nicholas Colosanto (who famously played Coach on Cheers) first suggested it. In an interview with BBC Television in 1993, Falk recalled, "He said, '1 think it would be great, the dog! I thought he was talking about some cute dog and I thought it'd be too cute, you know? I said,
'No, forget about it, Nick."
After that, nobody said a word to Falk again about the proposed pup. So when he showed up for a three-day shoot, he was surprised when Colosanto waved him over and said, "Come on over into this room here." Following the director, Falk described a moment when they got to a door and Colosanto stopped suddenly to warn the star, "You're gonna see the dog."

Now, everybody knows that Falk was a very particular actor when it came to the character of Columbo, so it makes his completely organic reaction once the door flung open all the more precious:
"And there's this dog. And he's laid out, and he can hardly walk, he's half dead, he's a million years old, and he's irresistible," Falk said in the interview. He went on, smiling big, and relenting that Colosanto's instincts were good. Falk said, "I mean, you fall in love with this thing. And I said, 'Okay, all right. I didn't know it was going to be that kind of dog."
