The Shaggy Dog is a 1994 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film and a remake of the 1959 film of the same name produced by Walt Disney Television that premiered on November 12, 1994 as an ABC Family Movie.

Plot

Preteen Martin "Moochie" Daniels just wants a dog, but his dad, Ron, is allergic to canines, like Bundles, the Old English Sheepdog of New neighbor Charlie Mulvihill & His Niece Franceska, who secretly trained his pet to help him steal jewels. Mooch's big brother Wilbur "Wilby" is smart, shy and a promising inventor, but hopelessly clumsy when it comes to girls, and is jealous of his slick mate Trey who has no problems. Desperate Wilby cast a spell on himself (he accidentally got from dad's museum of curiosities), which magically transform him into Bundles the Shaggy Dog. He would have back and forward transformations at uncontrollable times. This is how he also knows that the diamond on loan in his father's museum is Charlie's next target, but who would believe his story?
