I love the Godfather Part II, but I've got an issue that's plagued me for years. Right after Michael and Kay's bedroom gets ripped apart in gunfire near the beginning of the movie, the family "releases the dogs" to find the culprits and/or their bodies (Michael predicted they were dead). Now, the Corleone's were no doubt rich and powerful, but isn't it a bit much to believe that they'd have teams of bloodhounds (and handlers) all ready to go in case something like this ever came up? I mean, really. Year after year of feeding and training and housing all these dogs and nothing to use them for. Would they really have faded that expense?

Maybe they weren't his own, but i'm sure he had the police and associated resources in his back pocket. If they were in fact his own, it's not too far-fetched I guess. It can't be any more expensive than owning some horses, stables, and trainers (don't know if he had these) like any other billionaire.
