Plot[]
The great dane Marmaduke takes a cannonball dive from the second floor of his family's home into the backyard pool at son Billy's birthday party, releasing a giant tidal wave. Barbara, Billy’s sister, takes a video and it goes viral. It comes to the attention of world renown dog trainer, Guy, who offers to transform Marmaduke into a world class show dog. At first, the family isn’t sure about Marmaduke entering dog competitions. When Phil, the family’s dad, learns that one million dollars is the prize money, he’s persuaded to make an agreement. Marmaduke goes into training and, after some initial resistance, starts to makes progress.
Guy enters Marmaduke into a local dog show to test his skills at the competition level. During the preliminary setup, Marmaduke encounters Zeus, a large dog with sensationally shiny gold white fur. Zeus entices Marmaduke to eat a snack prior to competition, making him instantaneously gassy. Marmadauke does his best to conceal the matter and struts onto the field with Guy. Before one lap around the field, Marmaduke releases voluminous clouds of noxious flatus which envelopes the entire field. Marmaduke soars through the air and lands backside down in the winner’s trophy, releasing his innards to the great dismay of all present.
Disgraced, Guy refuses to keep training Marmaduke. Deflated and dejected, Marmaduke runs away from home. As he’s running down the street, he sees the family cat, King Tut, in the middle of an intersection. Marmaduke saves the cat, but has difficultly in connecting with his character. Persuaded by King Tut, Marmaduke embarks on a trip around the world performing heroic stunts along the way. His circumnavigation convinces Guy to take Marmaduke back on for the World Dog Championship. Marmaduke encounters Zeus again at the competition with many other dog breeds. The competition consists of three challenges, but right after Marmaduke succeeds the second challenge, he lands on Guy, who is hospitalized. Without a trainer, Marmaduke’s owners end up steps in to coach him, allowing him to do the final challenge.
In the third and final challenge, the dogs perform a unique act, with Marmaduke and Billy doing a cowboy act with Kung Tut, pleasing the audience. Later, the judge's final results reveal Zeus as the winner. However, Marmaduke uncovers that Zeus's owner rigged the scores, leading Zeus to be disqualified. Zeus tries to take back the trophy, but Marmaduke stops him. Zeus ends up knocking over a platform, causing Marmaduke to push his owners out of the way, getting crushed by the platform. Marmaduke is initially believed to be dead, but turns out is still alive, and they all live happily afterwards. Meanwhile, Zeus was caught by the security and was sent to the dog pound during the credits.
