In "Manny's Best Friend", Manny has moved to a new school, and it's not easy to fit in. After wishing he had more friends, Manny finds a mysterious collar and puts it on Rufus, the family Dog. Suddenly, Rufus turns into a boy! Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics -- chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching a soccer ball with his mouth -- he immediately becomes the most popular kid around. Manny is jealous of his new best friend but eventually leans that a dog's loyalty to his owner always comes first. "Manny's Best Friend" stars Jace Norman ("Henry Danger") and Haley Tju ("Bella and the Bulldogs"), and Curtis Albright ("Liar, Liar, Vampire").
The movie is written by Bill Motz and Bob Roth, directed by Savage Steve Holland ("100 Things to Do Before High School", "Santa Hunters", "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide"), and produced by Pacific Bay Entertainment. Scenes of the movie were filmed on location at Port Moody Middle School.
