Which scenes?(Mechanical dog? guy in Dog suit?)


Anyone know if its obvious to see or which scenes used the mechanical dog, rottweiler, and guy in a dog suit? I think I could tell some scenes but its been awhile since I've seen this film.

I did notice some of the scenes where the rottwieler was used and one scene where its obvious during an attack Cujo's otherwise wagging "happy" tail is tied to his leg.

I have a book called "Stephen King at the Movies" by Jessie Horsting. In the Cujo section there is a picture during the fight with Donna where her head and upper back are on the hood of the car and Cujo is on top of her. That dog looks like a suit.
In the behind the scenes feature it says they wanted to put a labrador in a St. Bernard suit in the scene in the fog but it didn't look right so they scrapped it. I think there is no other breed in the movie's final cut.
As for teh mechanical one, I don't know.

It is a little older. Pet Sematary wasn't even in it.
