English term or phrase: good cat --- bad dog
On the movie Lucky Number Slevin, it says that "Kelevra" translates into "bad dog." I would like to know if this is true. If it is now I would like to know what the real translation of Kelevra is - if there is such a thing and if not would like the translation of bad dog and good cat into Hebrew. thanks!

I would also like the translation of "good cat" into what Hebrew is.
