The phrase "it's a dog's life" takes on a whole new meaning in this family-friendly
comedy. When eccentric billionaire
Constance Pennington passes on, she leaves her entire fortune to her closest companion,
Bailey. However, there's something that sets
Bailey apart from most of the
nuevo riche --
Bailey is a golden retriever dog.
Bailey's best human friend is
Ted (
Dean Cain), a handsome but nerdy animal behaviorist who has learned to communicate with
Bailey in "dogish."
Ted looks after the wealthy pooch with
Bailey's blessings, but
Bailey's new fame and wealth don't sit well with everyone --
Caspar Pennington (
Tim Curry),
Constance's nephew, is infuriated that a dog has inherited his aunt's fortune. With the help of his shrewish wife,
Dolores (
Jennifer Tilly),
Caspar sets up the Animal Rights and Research Foundation (ARRF), and installs
Ted on the boards alongside
Marge (
Laurie Holden), a cute single mother and animal rights activist. But
Caspar and
Dolores hardly have benevolent aims in mind -- ARRF is supposed to keep
Ted and
Marge busy while the Penningtons kidnap
Bailey and find a way to prove to the world that
Ted has been abusing the dog.
Jon Lovitz provides the speaking voice of
Bailey.
