Quote from Martin in Death and the Dog
Daphne: Oh, that'll be Dr. Crane. He said he was going to bring his dog over. Martin: Oh, not that four-legged Maris. Frasier: Dad, please. Don't call it that in front of him. He has no idea. Martin: How could he not? It acts like Maris. It barks like Maris. Aside from the fact that it eats now and then, they're dead ringers.
