Underdog is a mutt!

So happy to see that Underdog is a mutt rather than a purebred beagle--about as all-American a mutt as you can get, too. You'll see any number of Underdog-type mutts at most shelters in central NYS. Let's hope Underdog creates a run on shelter adoptions of beagle-basset-hound type mutts!

The trailer is a hoot. You can view it here if you haven't already Click on "bloopers" (which are silly) and then on "trailer." When I heard this was being made into a movie my original thought was "oh, spare me." But it looks like good doggy fun.

One good thing about the digital age..it probably makes movie-making a heck of a lot less rough on animal actors.

Unless, of course, now that they can make animals "do incredible things" they actually subject them to more stress to get the variety of expressions they need and want to manipulate.

But where's the CAT??? It's the cat that always saved his bacon. (and at least he looks fixed, even though he has a love interest, and it won't shock me if there are puppies at the end of the film for the saccarhin happy ending)

Someone kindly pointed out to me that I was thinking of Hong Kong Phui.
