Good Boy! was a moderately successful movie produced by Jim Henson Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, starring talking alien dogs. The movie starred Liam Aiken as Owen Baker, as well as Matthew Broderick, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, Cheech Marin, Brittany Murphy, Vanessa Redgrave, and Carl Reiner were the voice cast for the abundant dog characters in the movie. The movie was based on the book Dogs from Outer Space by Zeke Richardson. Josh Hoffman and Zeke Richardson collaborated on the screen story, while John Robert Hoffman wrote the screenplay.
Owen Baker (Liam Aiken) is a 12-year-old loner who has been working as the neighborhood dog-walker so he can earn the privilege of getting a dog of his own. Owen's hard work pays off when his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baker (Molly Shannon & Kevin Nealon), let Owen adopt a scruffy Border Terrier that he names Hubble (Voice of Matthew Broderick).
With his parents perpetually buying, renovating, and then selling house after house, Owen has little time to make lasting friends, so he hopes Hubble will be his best friend.
Owen does have a friend named Connie Flemming (Brittany Moldowan), a girl his age who lives in the neighborhood. But that won't be for long if Owen's parents continue their trend of buying and selling houses.
Owen and Hubble get more than they bargained for when Owen wakes up one morning to discover that he can understand every word Hubble says -- including the ominous phrase: "Take me to your leaders."
Owen learns that dogs came to Earth thousands of years ago to colonize and dominate the planet. Hubble, who is really named Canid 3942, has been sent by the powerful Greater Dane (Voice of Vanessa Redgrave) on a mission from the Dog Star Sirius 7 to make sure dogs have fulfilled this destiny.........
