Best in Show, 2000
Company voted Best Pick! This ultra funny comedy, or what you'd call a "mokumentary", features five entrants in a prestigious dog show and takes you through the comical journey they take to reach the ultimate competition.
Turner and Hooch, 1989
Oldie but goodie! We love Tom Hanks in this drama with a comedic twist. Turner, played by Hanks, reluctantly inherits his friend's gigantic Dogue de Bordeaux, Hooch, who helps him sold a murder case in his sleepy town. As most do, Turner's new canine companion came into his life and changed it for the better.
Air Bud, 1997

One of the most successful franchises in Disney history, Air Bud depicts the story of a dog who can play basketball and helps one deserving teenager find his place in his highschool's basketball team.
Once the movie is over, your night doesn't have to end there! Since you've probably just eaten popcorn and given your pup a treat or two, take them out for moonlit stroll to enjoy some fresh air and get some exercise.
