4. Spaceman Sam was not originally part of the story. He got added in after the story was already written.
5. The pictures of Gretchen in the TV room were made by real 6 year old kids.
6. Gretchen is a real dog with a BIG personality. She is a rescue dog and lives in Alaska. You can follow her on Instagram at gretchen_ak_trailmutt.
