This story unfolds in
the Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Max lives in an apartment building and his owner is
Katie. His world is turned upside
down when Katie brings home another dog, Duke. Katie found Duke at the pound and she hopes the two dogs
will get along plus keep each other company while she is at work. This isn’t happening and the two dogs
are fighting with each other over territory in the apartment. The dogs are out with the dog walker
and Max tries to abandon Max in an alley but everything goes wrong. They both are picked up by animal
control and that starts a very scary adventure. The only thing that can save them is a group of the other
dogs from the apartment building.
This movie is very
funny. There are so many times the
dogs are really in trouble and so many unexpected ways they get out of trouble. They meet a lot of strange animals
too. All the ideas owners have
ever had about their pets while they are away come true and more. 4* (I really liked this movie)
