Perro and can mean 'dog' in Spanish. The English version is faithful to the pun in the original, as are the Portuguese ('cão' - 'dog') and Finnish ('koira' - 'dog') versions. In German the pun is on Musketier, the German form of 'Musketeer', and tier, meaning 'animal', while in Lithuanian 'Au-au' is the sound of a dog barking.
