Downward Dog

If you've looked into the mournful eyes of your dog when leaving for work and worried that you were breaking its heart, meet Martin. A large, sad-eyed mutt, Martin is the hero and narrator of ABC's new show Downward Dog. Martin lives with and adores Nan (Allison Tolman). Nan has a tedious job in what seems to be marketing and an ex-boyfriend with whom she cannot completely break up. Martin has much to say about this, and also about dog stuff, especially when he doesn't think Nan is being attentive enough to his needs. A sweet little show, low key and more smile-worthy than hilarious, Downward Dog might not be for everyone. Animal lovers are likely to find it adorable.
