''The Shaggy Dog'' is a 1959 Creator/{{Disney}} movie starring [[Series/MyThreeSons Fred MacMurray]] and Tom Kirby, partly based on a Felix Salten novel called ''The Hound of Florence'', about a brilliant but geeky teenage boy named Wilby Daniels, who takes a liking to a beautiful French girl who just moved in. While he and his friend Buzz Miller take her to a museum, Wilby gets separated from the group and accidentally bumps a case of rings over. When he gets home, Wilby discovers that one of the rings fell into the cuff of his pocket and notices a strange Latin inscription on it. After reading it over and over, he turns into a dog! The spell comes and goes constantly at embarrassing times, and things get even more complicated when he discovers that the girl's father and butler are actually spies sent to steal a government secret for the space program. Now it's up to Wilby and his [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling pesky brother]] (and eventually his dog hating father), to stop the spies before he (and his dad) both end up in the dog house!

* BittersweetEnding: Wilby manages to stop the spies and rescue Francesca, resulting in the spell being broken, but unfortunately it's the dog Chiffon who gets all the attention and credit. But Francesca gives Wilby's brother Moochie the dog as thanks and Wilson has finally warmed up to dogs. And on top of that, Wilby and Buzz make up and agree to both share Allison...but she unfortunately has found another boyfriend.
