This canine comedy-drama is based on The Bar Sinister, a whimsical tale by Richard Harding Davis. The story is told from the point of view of a dog, as he recounts for the benefit of the audience his rise from the streets of the Bowery to the luxurious heights of Park Avenue. Much of the story deals with the "triangle" involving the doggie protagonist and human hero and heroine Kenneth Thomson and
Vera Reynolds. Everything ends happily when the dog wins over an animal-hating millionaire. Almost Human was remade in 1956 as
It's a Dog's Life. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
