You do some pretty terrible things to dogs in MachineGames' Wolfenstein games, so I was prepared for the worst in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Happily, the puppers are safe this time, with MachineGames explaining that Indiana Jones is a "family-friendly IP in many ways."
BTW, the character was really named after George Lucas’ dog. So the line was kind of fourth wall breaking.
Chewie also got his name from one of his dogs.
