Jumping Dog - Independence Day (1996)

Aliens have blown up the White House. The human race is being systematically exterminated. Fighter pilot Will Smith’s missus is about to get blown up by a big fireball in a tunnel.

No, wait! She’s safe – in a little alcove. Hang on, though… What about the dog? “Boomer! BOOMER! JUMP, YOU IRONICALLY NAMED LITTLE BASTARD, JUMP!”

Dog fact: The US has the highest dog population in the world.

Man Dog - The Shaggy Dog (2006)

Tim Allen gets bitten by a radioactive dog from Tibet (really) and starts to behave like a dog - panting, crawling about on all fours, barking at postmen, taking fifteen minutes to meticulously lick his testicles clean...

At one point, he chases a cat around an alley. In a suit. We've all been there.

Dog fact: Dogs are mentioned in the Bible fourteen times.
