AIR BUD: THE COLLEGE YEARS

You're probably familiar with, or at least aware of, Disney's Air Bud series of movies. Beginning in 1997 with the eponymous Air Bud, the film series follows the exploits of Buddy, a golden retriever who can play sports on human teams. The dog played basketball in that first film, and then in 1998, the sequel Air Bud: Golden Receiver found him taking up football. Later films had him play soccer, baseball and volleyball (that's right, hockey fans: they made a volleyball film and then stopped!)

Beyond the original series, a number of Air Buddies spinoff films have been made, bringing the current acknowledged count to fourteen - FOURTEEN - Air Bud/Buddies tales.
