[edit] Plot

The story starts out with the FBI going after Sonny Talia, a crime boss. The police can't find anything against him, until they bring out their best tool: Agent 11, a crime-fighting Bullmastiff. The dog attacks Talia, and Talia sends two of his buddies, Gino and Arliss, out to kill Agent 11. Meanwhile, Gordon Smith is enjoying his job as a mailman. As all mailmen do, he hates dogs. He is also in love with his neighbor, Stephanie. When Stephanie has to go somewhere on business and the babysitter can't make it, Gordon volunteers to take care of her son, James. The police attempt to take Agent 11 to a dog-training facility in Alaska, but Agent 11 escapes and finds Gordon and James. At first Agent 11--dubbed "Spot" by the two guys--doesn't want to catch balls or frisbees, but he eventually starts to play like a normal dog. Gino and Arliss try to kill Agent 11 while he is with Gordon and James at the pet store, but the dog outsmarts them. When the FBI finds out that Agent 11 is living with Gordon, they take him away, which makes James upset. Agent 11 escapes from the FBI once again, and finds James and Gordon. Sonny Talia returns and attempts to kill Agent 11, but he is also outsmarted, and is put in jail. Stephanie returns and is very upset with Gordon for what had happened. Eventually, James convinces her that Gordon is a good guy, and she and Gordon end up together.
