Who says best friends have to be human? Not Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz), who receives a talented terrier named Skip for his birthday.

Critics Consensus

Critics say My Dog Skip is cute, wholesome entertainment for the family. It's especially designed to appeal to your sentiment, but you might find yourself choking up just the same.

Flaws and all, this is superior family entertainment in the tradition of quality that co-producer Mark Johnson has long championed.

3.5/4

Not a mawkish dying-dog tearjerker, "My Dog Skip" carries a touch of Mark Twain, with quasi-dangerous tall tales and awareness of a gap between childhood and boyhood. Plus, as it's said of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there's cussin' in it.

Filled with cliche after cliche to the point were its over the top annoying.

would entertain its target audience but is totally vanilla in every way and doesn't have much for the adults that would have to watch it alongside their kids, especially if the adult isn't a fan of dogs, like me
