Dug's Special Mission is a 2009 American animated short film, directed by Ronnie del Carmen. It is tied into and included on the Blu-ray/DVD releases of Up[1] and Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 2.
According to Jonas Rivera, the producer of Pixar's film Up, Dug's Special Mission "is a little bit of the backstory of what Dug was actually doing out there on this mysterious mission when we meet him [in Up]".[2] In the short, Dug is instructed on how to catch the bird (which he names Kevin) by Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, but their instructions are really intended to keep Dug away from them.
