Dog Days of Summer Movie: Turner and Hooch

As the heat of August arrives we celebrate the Dog Days of Summer. Rather than lament them, we are celebrating them with movies featuring our favorite dogs of film. Come laugh, or cry, with our favorite pet! Fun for the whole family. Det. Scott Turner is an uptight, by-the-book police officer who hopes to leave his sleepy California town and work in the big city. When his friend Amos Reed, the proprietor of a junkyard, is killed, Turner reluctantly inherits the man's dog. Realizing that the canine may be able to help him solve the murder case, Turner attempts to adjust to life with the big dog, resulting in much household destruction and unwelcome chaos. Starring: Tom Hanks, Mare Winningham, and Craig T. Nelson. PG, 1989, 1h 37m
