Dave Douglas (Tim Allen) is a deputy district attorney, whom viewers see prosecuting activists who have broken into and allegedly set fire to the laboratory of pharmaceutical corporation Grant and Strictland, which the activists accuse of deliberately creating genetic freaks while searching for a “Fountain of Youth”. This distances Douglas from his activist daughter Carly (Zena Grey).
Viewers learn that the power-hungry minions of Mister Strictland (the surviving but aged junior partner of the late Grant), led by Dr. Kozak (Robert Downey Jr.), have stolen from a Tibetan Buddhist monastery the dog Khyi-yag-po (played by a bearded collie), whose DNA carries a mutation granting an extraordinary lifespan. Seeking to obtain his seeming immortality for themselves, the geneticists carry out several experiments which fail comically; though cell degradation desists in all the test subjects (a bullfrog with a head of a bull, rats who behave like cats, rabbits who behave like kangaroos, a chimpanzee who behaves like a human being, a cobra with a chameleon-like tail, and a capuchin monkey who behaves like a spider). The scientists determine that Khyi-yag-po’s mutation is contagious and transmissible by bodily fluids.
Khyi-yag-po later escapes his cage and is found by Carly Douglas and her friend Trey (Shawn Pyfrom), who are trying to find evidence of the company’s animal testing. They bring him home and dub him “Shaggy”. When Dave returns from work, he objects to the dog’s presence and orders it out, but in the process is bitten on the hand, whereupon Khyi-yag-po’s saliva enters Dave’s veins, infecting him with the mutation.
Dave thereafter begins to exhibit canine behavior such as eating with only his mouth, being territorial in the presence of other dogs, and licking his wife rather than kissing her. When he becomes excited by stimuli associated with dogs, such as the command “Fetch!” or the presence of a cat, he transforms completely into a replica of Khyi-yag-po. This change is reversed only when he has calmed, as during sleep. When the real Khyi-yag-po is caught by Kozak’s lab minions, Dave is mistaken for “Shaggy” and takes his place. His family, ignorant of this, speak freely in his presence, leading Dave to realize that he is estranged from them. In particular, he learns that his son Josh (Spencer Breslin) wants to sing in the musical Grease instead of playing football, but is too scared to tell his father so. Read more
