What happens

Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts (also known as Dr. Dolittle 5 or Dr. Dolittle: A Tinsel Town Tail) is a 2009 American comedy film directed by Alex Zamm and starring Kyla Pratt and Norm Macdonald. It was released on May 19, 2009, and like its predecessor, Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (2008), was a direct-to-DVD release. It is the fifth and final film in the Dr. Dolittle film series, before the 2020 reboot and is the final Dr. Dolittle film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, and the third film in the series not to feature Eddie Murphy as Dr. John Dolittle and Raven-Symoné as Charisse Dolittle, though they are mentioned in the film. Pratt, MacDonald, and Phil Proctor are the only cast members to have been involved in all five films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
