Tuck this into their gift basket or stocking to enjoy over and over again! Thanks to our friends at Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for sponsoring today’s post!

We first met Ginger and Max in their pre-Duke glory days, having a routine like no other and living the good life as pets in NYC apartments. But then Katie, Max’s mom, brings home a new dog, Duke…and Max’s stable, routine, fabulous life is turned upside down and inside out.  From small dogs to large dogs and every breed in between, plus cats, birds and bunnies, this comedy is all about the lives our pets lead at home when we leave for work or school and the story of what happens when Max and his unruly new “roommate” slip away from their dog-walker. They find themselves lost in the urban jungle of New York City and in an attempt to stay ahead of animal control and a rebel band of abandoned pets led by an unhinged bunny named Snowball they put aside their differences to survive the epic journey back home.
