A Dog Year is a 2009 television film written and directed by first-time director George LaVoo and starring Jeff Bridges.

Plot
Jon Katz faces a midlife crisis. His wife moves out because he was growing too distant, their daughter Emma has moved to a place of her own, and he is left in the house with their two labrador retrievers and a severe case of writer's block.
