When Katie adopts and brings home a second dog, the wildebeest-ish Newfoundland stray named Duke (Eric Stonestreet), Max now fears that he will have to compete for affection and attention. Max has a winning group of neighboring pet buddies, including the Pomeranian Gidget (Jenny Slate) with a crush on him and the indifferent tabby cat Chloe (Lake Bell).

Max (Louis C.K.) is a lovingly spoiled Jack Russell terrier hopelessly devoted to his altruistic single woman owner Katie (Ellie Kemper).
