Lovable dogs and children are a winning combination in this live-action Dreamworks family movie releasing January 16, 2009. Based on Lois Duncan's 1971 children's book, Hotel For Dogs, this live-action movie stars Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin, Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon, and Don Cheadle in a comedic adventure that shows how far love and imagination can take you. When 16-year-old Andi and her younger brother, Bruce, find themselves in a foster home with a strict "no pets" policy, the siblings have to find a new home for their dog, Friday. The kids stumble into an abandoned hotel and begin transforming it into something truly magical: a home for their dog, as well as all the stray dogs in the neighborhood! But the hotel soon arouses the suspicions of the police who want to know--who let the dogs in? Bruce lets readers in on the secrets to his inventions in this 24-page guide to all the gadgets and machines he created to keep the dogs in the hotel well-fed and entertained. From a fetching machine and feeding device to bathrooms and mechanical sheep, Bruce tells how he did it in this detailed instruction manual.
