The Shaggy Dog (2006)
Dave Douglas is a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County who is prosecuting social studies teacher and activist Justin Forrester for firebombing the pharmaceutical corporation Grant and Strictland. Forrester denies this, but claims that Grant and Strictland have been engaging in illegal animal experimentation. This distances Douglas from his daughter Carly, one of Forrester’s students. As Dave is also a workaholic, his relationships with his wife, Rebecca, and son, Josh, are strained.
The greedy geneticists working for Mr. Lance Strictland, led by Dr. Kozak, have stolen a 300-year-old sacred dog named Khyi Yang Po from a Tibetan monastery. The scientists determine that Khyi Yang Po’s genetic sequence, when isolated and put into a vaccination, invades and alters the cells and DNA of a victim. Carly brings Khyi Yang Po, who she calls ‘Shaggy’, home. When Dave returns from work, he takes Khyi Yang Po out in the garage, then the dog runs to get the newspaper. Khyi Yang Po gives him his newspaper, and Dave reaches for it, only to be bitten on the hand by Khyi Yang Po. Khyi Yang Po’s saliva and cells infect Dave and is taken to be tested for rabies and the tests came back negative.
