Man's Best Friend is a simple monster movie. A reporter called Laurie (Ally Sheedy) and her assistant are called up by a scientist at EMAX (a company doing experiments on endangered species) who will let them in to witness the experiments. Before they are able to get there the scientist is killed by an unseen creature before it is tranquilised by an unseen figure.
Getting to the laboratory the reporter and her assistant/camerawoman find their contact isn't there so decide to break in.They uncover evidence of horrific experiments and then a Tibetan Mastiff dog called Max who they let out of his cage. They are then discovered by security and escape. The head of the company Dr Jarett (played by genre legend Lance Henriksen) finds the dog who growls at him and escapes. He heads into the reporters car and she takes him home. They stop at a convenience store where she is attacked by a mugger and the dog saves her by killing the mugger.
Later the dog menaces the reporters boyfriend Perry. Jarett meanwhile has reported the dog stolen and explains he is an experiment for the army. He has the intelligence of a man and can be used as an asset by himself in the field. He also has the genetics of a chameleon to blend in, a snake to consume prey and a jaguar to climb amongst others. Unfortunately this has also driven him insane and he must stay on medication or he will have a psychotic break and become a killing machine.
