Strays, the doggy comedy voiced by Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx and many other stars, has only a handful of “human” roles.
There’s Will Forte as Doug, a stoner who abandons his poor dog Reggie (Ferrell) in the middle of the big city to get rid of.
Reggie befriends a smart-ass stray named Bug (Foxx), and she eventually meets Hunter (Randall Park) and Maggie (Isla Fisher). As the group tries to retrace Reggie’s journey back to Doug’s house, they encounter some outrageous characters, including a star actor.
Spoiler alert: read on if you want to find out who the celebrity cameo in “Strays” is.
As the strays walk across an open field, an eagle pounces and flies away on its prow. Reggie tries to save his friend by clutching Bug’s leg and trying to throw the bird to the ground.
The entire spectacle is captured by avid bird watcher Dennis Quaid.
“It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, and Dennis Quaid saw crazy crap,” says the amazed actor.
Of course, Quaid has starred in dozens of films over the years, including A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey, adapted from the best-selling books by W. Bruce Cameron.
These films also feature talking dogs, but they’re far more family-friendly than Stray’s, which is full of swear words and literal toilet humor.
Strays pokes fun at A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey by involving Gus, a golden retriever the strays meet at a county fair.
Gus “tells” his owner’s story to the strays, but they aren’t interested. The retriever’s story takes a twisted turn when he discovers his owner is actually a mass murderer. Gus is voiced by none other than Josh Gad, who voices the dogs in “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey.”
