Wishbone becomes the face of a hugely popular dog treat brand, but he's worried his family and friends have forgotten that underneath the kilt and bagpipes he's still Wishbone. On the other hand, in the play The Inspector General, by Nikolai Gogol, a clerk is mistaken for a high level government official and leans into this mistaken identity to hilarious effect.
