Certainly an original premise (a dog reincarnated as a man) with some even wilder ideas ("Beastatory"), which is played and handled in an amusing manner, but still leaves you with the feeling that not all of the comic possibilities of the situation were exploited. The animals are well-trained; on the human front, my favorite is Peggy Dow, who is gorgeous and quite modern in composition. **1/2 out of 4.
