Dog is a story about US Army Ranger Riggs (Channing Tatum) who transports a military Belgian Malinois named Lulu to the funeral of her deceased handler. Lulu and Riggs have a rocky start; however, their cross-country journey brings them closer together and they form a bond with each other. Dog will be out Valentine's weekend.
The Belgian Malinois classified as a variety of the Belgian Shepherd Dog rather than a separate breed. The breed was developed in Belgium for guarding and herding sheep around Malines. There are four varieties of the Belgian Shepherd Dog.
- The Groenendael - known simple as the Belgian Sheepdog with a long black coat
- The Laekenois - with a rough or wire-coat in fawn, red or brown
- The Malinois - with a short coat in fawn, red or brown
- The Tervueren - with a long fawn or dark red coat
The British Kennel Club regards them as a single breed. United States and Belgium are the only countries to accept at least three of the four of them as distinguished from each other as separate breeds. In World War 1 the Belgian breeds were used as sentry dogs, messengers, and even draft dogs. Belgium Malinois today are recognized as police dogs.
The Belgian Malinois are not for everyone. These dogs have an instinct to guard and therefore should be trained very carefully. They tend to be one-person dogs. They are good with their family but should not rough house or play chasing games. They need to be socialized to pets, needing extra care with a new pet. They are obedient, hardworking, loyal, reserved, protective, intelligent, and highly active. They can turn to mischief for entertainment if not occupied for a long time.
