He thinks they’re playing another long-distance game of fetch, and is determined to return to Doug and win the game. But Reggie doesn’t understand that he’s being abandoned. He leaves the gullible dog to fend for himself on the street three hours away from home, alone and unloved. When the girlfriend leaves, Doug wants Reggie gone. The goodhearted Reggie calls Doug, “the best owner in the world,” despite the fact that their game of fetch involves stranding Reggie far away from home to see if he can find his way back. He lives with Doug (Will Forte), a cruel owner who only puts up with the dog because his girlfriend adopted him from a local general store. Or maybe as a riff on “The Adventures of Milo and Otis” with raunchy dialogue that would make Snoop Dogg blush.įerrell is trusting Border Terrier Reggie. If you haven’t seen the trailer, think of it as an animal road trip movie like “The Incredible Journey” minus the family-friendly bits. If you have seen the trailer for “Strays,” a new comedy starring a pack of very cute dogs and the voices of Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx, you know what you are in for.
