Hooch from Turner & Hooch The sweet pooch Tom Hanks takes care of in the 1989 film, Turner & Hooch, is a Douge De Bordeaux — a French breed built like a Rottweiler with a wrinkled face and lots of personality. Several different dogs portrayed Hooch, all of which had their own special talents including crawling without using front legs, jumping, butting his head through a door, and more. Tom Hanks spent time with all of the dogs prior to filming to ensure he had a good relationship with them on camera. Image Source: Everett Collection
