DOG is a buddy comedy that follows the misadventures of two
former Army Rangers paired against their will on the road trip of a
lifetime. Army Ranger Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian
Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the
Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier's funeral
on time. Along the way, they’ll drive each other completely crazy,
break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to
let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding
happiness. DOG will be released in theaters on February 18,
2022.
“It is always an honor to support American Humane’s
Pups4Patriots program and its mission to bring military veterans
and shelter dogs together—creating special life-long bonds,” said
Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of Nylabone Products. “Through
our limited-edition chew toy for DOG, we are thrilled to embrace
this fun and meaningful opportunity to help show our deep
appreciation for American Humane and all the wonderful work they
do.”
Nylabone’s specially made Power Chew toy features a
military-style camouflage design and comes in a classic Souper
shape. Featuring delicious chicken flavor throughout, this USA-made
chew toy will keep extreme chewers happy and busy. It is
recommended for dogs over 50 pounds and available for purchase at
select retailers.
Through the Pups4Patriots™ program, American Humane works to
save lives on both ends of the leash. This organization rescues
surrendered shelter dogs and trains them as life-saving service
dogs for military veterans struggling with the invisible wounds of
war, such as PTSD and traumatic brain injury.
“America’s veterans served us—and now it’s time for us to serve
them,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American
Humane. “American Humane has been first to serve with the U.S.
military for more than a century, and we are proud to support all
veterans, both two-legged and four-legged, through our
Pups4Patriots program and military working dog reunifications. We
are so appreciative of Nylabone’s support, in honor of DOG the
movie, that will help us continue to save lives both on and off the
battlefield.”
Nylabone’s contribution supports Central Garden & Pet’s
Impact strategy, which is dedicated to making positive changes
through philanthropic work, focusing on community health, employee
well-being, and sustainability.
