Synopsis

A rich woman TSEUNG TIN NGOR (Maggie Shiu)’s beloved dog CANDY has got behaviour problems since NGOR is being kidnapped. After released, NGOR takes CANDY for various medical treatments but none of them is helpful to cure its illness. Desperate NGOR finally finds LAI TSUN SING (Kent Cheng), a retired police canine officer, who has just opened a kennel in the walled village. NGOR asks SING to give CANDY training but it creates discord between both of them. When CANDY’s condition is getting better and better, NGOR is pleased and shows deference toward SING. NGOR feels obscured of the kidnapping and she misconceives that the landlord of the kennel, CHOW YUNG KUNG (Steven Ma), is one of the kidnappers. SING gets his trained dog BINGO carrying out an investigation. They finally prove that KUNG is innocent. KUNG appreciates Sing’s efforts and he starts joining the course for learning how to be a dog lover. LAI SIN YUE (Linda Chung), SING’s veterinarian daughter, is aware of her feeling towards him since then.

富家女蔣天娥(邵美琪)被綁架,其愛犬Candy情緒及行為出現异常,天娥获释后遍寻兽医也找不着病因,最終到围村找上刚开设犬舍的黎俊升(郑则士),天娥將Candy交予俊升训练,二人常有齟齬,但因俊升是退休警犬队教官,又令Candy情況逐步好转,天娥惟有收捡小姐脾氣,任由俊升指指点点。天娥一直未能放下綁架案的疑团,希望自行找寻线索,其间更误会犬舍的包租公周用恭(马浚伟),是綁匪之一,幸得俊升与退休警犬Bingo协助调查,用恭才得以洗脫嫌疑。本与俊升狗咬狗骨的有恭決定改变自己,除了加入犬只训练班,更要做个愛狗的主人,他的突变令俊升當兽医的女儿黎羨如(钟嘉欣)也因而对他另眼相看..

    Gah! Not sure If I’m looking forward to this.The plot doesn’t really sound like my cup of tea but on the other hand, Linda and Steven are being coupled together again which should be good since they were so cute in A Journey Called Life (I think that’s what its called.. can’t remember since its been ages!). Linda’s boyish portrayal based on the picture is going to be quite interesting too I reckon. I think I’ll give this a shot based on your reviews ktvb so hope to hear from you soon on this series!

  • Irene says:

    So far so good!!! Very funny … and it’s a different role for Steven to play a guy like that … can’t wait to see how the rest turns out!!!

    And glad to hear that you had a good vacay!!! And LOVE those Linda pictures from ‘My Love Story’, which is a great improvement on her first one! 😀

  • chibi says:

    Where’s Linda? *scans the picture left and right*

    Oh. That..BOY? XD XD

  • Rin says:

    I’m with Dolly on this. Steven and Linda were great in A Journey Called Life so when I saw that they were gonna be couple up again I was so happy! But the storyline.. mmm maybe it’ll be different than what the summary is like. Like the summary for A Journey Called Life was just bleh lol but it turned out good (:

    Are you gonna recap this K?

  • kinki says:

    The cast’s just like A Journey Called Life.
    Wonder will it be as good AJCL though.
    Dun really like Linda’s look.

    Dunno if you guys agree, but every time TVB uses animal(dogs and cats) in series, it doesn’t turn out good!

  • XD2 says:

    Lol, I watched the first 3 eps in HK.

  • Fungyi says:

    do you have the themesong to this dram?

  • cooldudejohn says:

    It’s actually an ok series! I’ve just started watching The Season Of Fate and it’s kind of silly and the casting is kind of ridiculous! But I find myself wanting to watch more of A Watchdog’s Tale!

    p.s. Linda looks so much better with long hair (as in girly style) but she has done this tombot role really well. It’s also great to see Steven acting in a very different role!

  • xXbBGurlx says:

    eventually i just finished watching this serie and its really enjoying and exciting as on the last episode u could finally see her hair long which is better than a short tomboy hair

  • TerrficallyMagical says:

    I just finished watching this show too! The ending’s pretty cute, but kinda cheesy.

    SPOILLER!!!

    two scenes you should watch : when Linda and Steven got rescued Kent was like you have so much insect bites…..uh oh this isn’t good

    And when Linda and Steven showed Kent how to tell Maggie “I love you”

    Linda looked SOOOO pretty at the end!!! =]

  • xXbBGurlx says:

    yea, soo pretty! and Kent saying i love you in many languages 😀

  • sienzbee says:

    er.. i wan to know the ending song of ep 8.. when linda and steven kiss tat time.. thank you..

  • xXbBGurlx says:

    i would want to know what its called too and as i’ve been hearing it i think the chorus is like baby/maybe im in love with you but im not sure wat the song is called

  • cooldudejohn says:

    I just finished this series and I think it’s a series that should be watched! I love it! Maybe some things might not happen in real life but it’s a very clever and enjoyable storyline! I’m actually now totally into Steven’s series! Linda and Steven really make a great on-screen couple. The chemistry is there and they just look great and matching together. I do hope to see another series with Steven and Linda together. Even my mum, who has absolute no interest in animals enjoyed it! I highly recommend this series!!!

    • gohan says:

      I think there is a new series coming out the legend of pu song ling, I dont know if its out yet?
      but both steven and linda will be in it 🙂

  • TerrficallyMagical says:

    OH and i forgot to mention, Linda wore the “alive not dead” cap alot in this series. you should go check out her site thing on “alive not dead” even though she doesn’t post alot. >.<

  • Anna says:

    I think Linda Chung & Steven was very good in A Journey Called Life but in this movie they r not nice & beautiful like in the aother movie

  • Anna says:

    I wonder in which movie they look better.
    But i think in A Journey Called Life they look better.

  • gohan says:

    I had just finished the movie, I really like it! something very fresh for a change the whole pets topic. The movie was very funny and cute, all characters were very ‘lovable’ besides Steven’s ex gf she was quite scary lol. I love steven and linda as a couple they were very cute to watch, i was disappointed that they didnt show much of their wedding instead they focused more on natalie’s and raymond’s one.
    overall i loved it! oh love the themesong too, im still hunting for that english song in steven and linda’s scenes. 😀

  • wong siew yoong (alyssia) says:

    the link to download the theme song “A Watchdog’s Tale” is not working. Please fix it and let me know. Thanks.

  • Mikey says:

    Good old times! I miss Linda sooo much, this really brings back memories. I just watched it again at dramatic.se and thank god for english subtitles!
