Same Dog, New Tricks

In next month’s Year of the Dog, Molly Shannon plays Peggy, a happy-go-lucky secretary – a great friend, employee, and sister – who lives alone with her beloved dog, Pencil.

But when Pencil unexpectedly dies, Peggy must embark on a journey of personal transformation.

Year of the Dog marks the directorial debut of The Good Girl and School of Rock screenwriter Mike White – and features, I hear, an unexpected tour de force from former Saturday Night Live MVP Shannon.
