Netflix’s live action Cowboy Bebop series, starring John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, and Alex Hassell, has officially begun production. The streaming giant announced the news today in, what else, a video about its smallest star: The dog who plays Ein the corgi.

The brief video simulates a corgi’s-eye view of entering the studio and taking a seat at a table read with Cho, Shakir, Pineda, and Hassell.

If you’re not familiar with the influential anime series, “Ein” — short for Einstein — is a genetically enhanced corgi with what appears to be human-level intelligence. That is to say, the dog doesn’t talk, but it does play chess. The perspicacious pup becomes the pet of the show’s central bounty hunter team, Spike Spiegel (Cho) and Jet Black (Shakir) over the course of the series.

Rumors have swirled that Netflix — whose reputation for poor casting in live-action anime adaptations for Western audiences has become a full meme — got a husky to play Ein, rather than a Welsh corgi. With this video, the production company has officially put those rumors to rest.
