In the 2014 holiday film The 3 Dogateers (also known as The Three Dogateers Save Christmas), three talking dogs must save the day when their family's Christmas is ruined.

The story follows three pampered pooches—Barkos, Wagos, and their leader Arfamis. When their owners leave them home alone on Christmas Eve, a pair of burglars breaks into the house and steals everything: the presents, the ornaments, and even the Christmas tree.

Refusing to let Christmas be ruined, the "Dogateers" set off on a journey across the city to track down the thieves and reclaim their belongings. Along the way, they have to dodge a relentless dogcatcher named Barney Gloat and eventually team up with a man they believe is the real Santa Claus to ensure they get home in time for Christmas morning.

The movie features a mix of live-action actors and voice performances for the dogs:

• Dean Cain: Plays Matt (the dogs' owner).

• Richard Riehle: Plays Santa Claus.

• Bill Oberst Jr.: Plays Barney Gloat (the dogcatcher).

• Jesse Baget: Not only directed the film but also provided the voices for Arfamis and Barkos.

• Danielle Judovits: Provided the voice for Wagos.

• Andrea Monier: Plays Lisa.

• Rodney Kageyama: Plays Mr. Hiroshi.
