Dog Man (2025) is an animated action-comedy film based on Dav Pilkey’s beloved children’s book series. When a dedicated police dog and his human officer are injured in the line of duty, a life-saving surgery fuses them together into the ultimate crime-fighting hybrid: Dog Man. Half dog, half man, and all hero, he must protect and serve while navigating his dual nature. With his keen canine instincts and human determination, Dog Man faces off against the villainous Petey the Cat, who plots to clone himself and create a kitten clone named Lil Petey. The film blends Pilkey’s signature humor, heart, and comic book-style animation for a family-friendly adventure. Directed by Peter Hastings, this DreamWorks Animation production brings the wildly popular graphic novels to life with vibrant visuals and a message about friendship, loyalty, and finding your true purpose.
