A Dog’s goal just dropped a brand new trailer for the upcoming movie, just in time for National Dog Day! While that may seem a little bit creepy (even the dog is onto the somewhat faulty premise when asking himself the question “Is there a objective to this journey of mine?”), it’s not hard to shed a tear or two, or just become a weepy mess.

This might be better than I expected from a talking dog movie, as the film gets really existential on a dog’s true objective, of which there are many depending upon the breed, the owner, etc. Basically, if you were destroyed by the final act of Marley & Me, get ready to watch a movie where that happens multiple times!
The ensemble cast is made up of a variety of familiar faces, from Dennis Quaid to Tomorrowland star Britt Robertson. And hey, what better way to celebrate man’s best friend than with a trailer for a movie that’ll let you watch the single worst part of the joyful ritual of dog ownership not just once, but repeatedly? And that’s not just because I too have a dog since I think A Dog’s goal might have something to offer even to people that maybe don’t enjoy the company of dogs as much.
With a cast that includes Josh Gad as the voice of Bailey, Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson, Peggy Lipton, Luke Kirby and Pooch Hall, A Dog’s objective looks to be a heartwarming family movie that is equal parts humor, drama and heart wrenching. Dog people: is this trailer more cute or creepy?
Based on W. Bruce Cameron’s 2010 best-selling novel of the same, A Dog’s goal is set for release on January 27, 2017.
