action
Police officer Scott Turner lives in the small town of Cedar Beach on the California coast. The most important thing in his life is order. On duty he always appears impeccably dressed, and his house is always sparkling clean.
When one day the junkyard owner Amos is murdered, Turner is forced to take in the only witness to the crime - a drooling Bordeaux mastiff named Huutsch. Turner initially thinks this is a huge mistake as the dog ravages his flagship home. In loving detail he dismantled all the furniture and his car and one day dragged Turner into the house of the attractive veterinarian Emily Carson. Though bachelor Scott is almost less interested in relationships than he is of dogs, he falls in love with Emily.
And the relationship with Huutsch is also developing positively. Scott and Huutsch gradually get closer and Huutsch becomes Scott's partner. He identifies his previous owner's killer and helps Scott catch him. However, there is more to the murder than expected. Scott finds out that in the factory near the junkyard where Huutsch used to live, money is frozen in huge blocks of ice and carried out of town between fish. To find those responsible, he and Huutsch break into the factory. When Turner's supervisor Howard Hyde also shows up at the factory, Turner is initially a little irritated, but then he realizes that his boss is the mastermind behind the crime. There is a fight. While Turner and Hyde fight each other, the manager of the factory, who is also involved in the crimes, sees the chance to shoot Turner. At that moment, however, Huutsch attacks and can tear the man off his legs, even though he shoots him in the chest. When Turner wants to see him, he is stopped by Hyde with a gun. While he persuades Turner to work with him, Huutsch drags himself to Hyde with the last of his strength and bites him in the leg so that Scott can overwhelm him. Scott brings Huutsch to Emily, who tries in vain to save his life.
Months later, Scott Turner is the city police chief. He rushes home after his now pregnant wife Emily called. Several young collies scurry around in the lower part of the house. In the upper part of the house, where everything is devastated, is Scott's new dog, one of Huutsch's descendants.
Reviews
The film received mixed reviews, earning a 54% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 28 reviews.
Rita Kempley compared the film in the Washington Post of July 28, 1989 to the film My Partner with the Cold Muzzle . It does not contain anything new.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "naive-friendly entertainment". The plot is “clichéd”, but is “covered with amusing gags about the dog, which is becoming more and more likeable”.
The editorial staff of the TV magazine Prisma said: “After 'My partner with the cold muzzle' this is another Hollywood comedy with a similar knitting pattern (upright cop and unruly dog). However, not only the staging and actors (including dogs), but also the gags ('This is not your room!') And disgusting drooling are much better. "
