Life couldn't be sweeter for Garfield, everyone's favourite feline. Parked on a comfortable chair in front of the television, feasting on his favorite dish, lasagna and hurling insults at his beleaguered owner Jon, Garfield is the master of his universe. When Jon takes Garfield to visit beautiful veterinarian Liz Wilson, she gives Jon a pepped-up, tail-wagging, panting creature that represents everything that Garfield loathes. Enter Odie, a lovable, dim-witted dog. The wise cracking cat is, for the first time in his nine lives, left speechless. The clueless Odie chases his tail till he's dizzy, crashes into walls, and barks without cause, all to the unbridled delight of Jon who eagerly welcomes Odie into his home. Odie turns Garfield's perfect world upside down. Garfield's solution: OUT, DARN DOG. But when the dog goes missing, Garfield feels that he is to blame for what happened and sets off to find the crook and get Odie back.
