When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve—and fetch, sit and roll over. As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief, he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat.
Peter Hastings's adaptation of the Dav Pilkey kid books, animated in a deliberate hand-drawn-comic style. Critics widely embraced it as warmer and weirder than the franchise opener had any right to be — the Petey-and-Li'l-Petey emotional turn lands genuinely, and Pete Davidson's voice work surprises.
