Underdog

Underdog is a 2007 American superhero film loosely based on the 1960s animated television series of the same name, which in turn is a spoof on the DC Comics character Superman. Directed by Frederik Du Chau, the film stars Jason Lee as the voice of the titular canine, alongside Jim Belushi, Peter Dinklage, John Slattery, and Patrick Warburton in live-action roles, with Brad Garrett and Amy Adams in voice roles. The story follows a diminutive hound who becomes a superhero after gaining superpowers from an accident at an evil scientist's lab, and becomes adopted by a 15 year old boy. Unlike the TV series, the titular character is portrayed as a realistic dog rather than an anthropomorphic one.
