Synopsis

When a dedicated police dog and his human officer are both injured during a mission, they undergo an unconventional and life-saving surgery that merges the two, resulting in the creation of Dog Man. Committed to protecting and serving—and also to fetching, sitting, and rolling over—Dog Man begins to embrace his new identity while striving to earn the approval of his Chief. In doing so, he must thwart the sinister schemes of the villainous feline, Petey the Cat.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2025 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.6× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
