Putting together a list of movies for movie nights. Examples include: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Nightmare Before Christmas, Up, and John Wick.
I am legend.
And, if you’re feeling brave, the original Star Wars trilogy
Space balls although technically it’s a mog!
He’s his own best friend.
The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Toto is important, and moves the plot, but then, maybe he’s just a MacGuffin.
Cujo
Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy
The original filmed and edited version didn’t have Baxter coming back after the Jack Black scene, and test audiences hated it so much that they want back to film a new ending that unexpectedly brought Baxter back for that pivotal scene.
Finch
Post apocalyptic world with Tom Hanks, his dog and a robot.
The Mask
Supergirl
“Good Boy”. Its a pretty basic haunted house movie, from the perspective of a dog.
Air Bud is a dog movie on the surface, but has a surpisingly well done underlying story of a boy struggling with the loss of his father.
A Boy and His Dog?
Prey.
Would Wolf Children count? It’s about a single mum raising werewolf pups. Anime film.
Dogville.
Or maybe I misunderstood the question, and/or the movie.
The dog is a drawing on the ground. It has a very small part, yet the dog won an award in Cannes for the movie.
Funny Farm, I Am Legend, The Outlaw Josey Wales
