Heavy Petting on AllMovie

A lonely bachelor battles a spirited canine for the heart of a beautiful girl, in the process realizing that he may have a greater affection for his new girlfriend's four-legged companion than for her beautiful master. The moment that Charlie (Brendan Hines) met Daphne (Malin Akerman), he was convinced that he had finally found the girl of his dreams. There was only one problem: Daphne had a pet dog named "Babydoll" who never left her side. Charlie has a thing about dogs - he hates them. But he's willing to overlook Daphne's inexplicable love for Babydoll if it means getting closer to the woman who holds her leash. Just as Charlie begins to doubt his ability to compete with the true object of Daphne's affections, however, something entirely unexpected happens - the man who once detested dogs realizes that he may not need a girlfriend after all but a companion of the dour-legged variety instead. Could it be that Charlie cares more for Babydoll than he does for Daphne? Now, if he hopes to keep his relationship with Babydoll in good standing, Charlie will have to continue charming Daphne or risk losing the two most important ladies in his life.
