What is the Dog Man movie about?
The Dog Man movie revolves around a half-dog and half-man police officer who is created after a villainous orange cat named Petey plants a bomb in an abandoned warehouse. That leads to famed cop Officer Knight and his canine buddy Greg arriving to defuse the bomb, but Knight cuts the wrong wire, causing the bomb to explode. It severely injured Knight’s head and Greg’s body, so two surgeons decided to save both dog and human by stitching Greg’s head onto Knight’s body, creating a dog-human hybrid.
Dog-Man eventually becomes a beloved figure in the town for his repeated arrests of Petey. However, at the same time, he also becomes sad and depressed due to the loss of Knight, and after his girlfriend, Alice, abandons them and sells their house. Dog-Man and Petey attempt to figure out their way in the world again, especially after Petey’s attempt to clone himself takes a bizarre turn for the supervillain.
