Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero is an upcoming computer-animated biographical family movie centring on Sergeant Stubby, a stray Boston Terrier who eventually became a hero during World War I. Due to be released in the US on 13 April.



Patrick

Described simply as “a British comedy film about a woman and a pug dog”, there’s very little to know right now. It’s in production, and it is scheduled to be released this year. 

The Grinch

“So he took his dog Max, and he took some black thread, and he tied a big horn on the top of his head…” Yes, it’s another re-make of the classic Dr Seuss Christmas tale, which is sure to feature Max, the Grinch’s pitiable canine companion, who poses as his reindeer when he impersonates Santa.

A Dog’s Way Home

From the writing team who brought you A Dog’s Purpose in 2017 comes the story of a Pit Bull who travels 400 miles home after being separated from her person by breed specific legislation. No release date as yet, but you can buy the book if you’re intrigued.
