Synopsis
After years of on-the-job clashes with cranky canines, mail carrier Wilson Daniels sees man's best friend as his worst enemy. This makes for one hairy situation when a magical ring accidentally transforms his teenage son Wilby into a lumbering sheepdog! Can Wilby break the spell and foil a team of international spies, or will both he and his dad wind up in the doghouse?

Critics' reviews
- "A warm and largely amusing family film."
- "It isn't good, but it's certainly mythic."
- "Wilby's father and the neighbor's dog get all the credit, but younger viewers will delight at knowing who really performed the heroics."
