Directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings, Dog Man is a canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestseller. A faithful police dog and his human police officer owner get injured together on the job. A foolish but life-saving surgery fuses them, and Dog Man, voiced by Isla Fisher, is born.

As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief, voiced by Lil Rel Howery, he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat, voiced by Pete Davidson.
Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime. Things get complicated, though, when Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man.
When Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to rescue the young kitten. They discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.
Dog Man also stars Sarah Hatoff, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root, Billy Boyd and Ricky Gervais.
