Spotlight: Jake T. Austin - Hotel for Dogs!

Jake T. Austin plays Emma Roberts' younger brother Bruce in Hotel for Dogs.

In this family comedy-adventure, these siblings live in a strictly no-pets household and are fast running out of ways to keep their perpetually hungry dog, Friday, under wraps.

 When they accidentally stumble on an abandoned hotel that is already home to a couple of resourceful strays, Andi has an idea. She taps Bruce's mechanical genius for turning everyday objects into mechanical marvels, and, with the help of their friends in the neighborhood, transform the down-and-out hotel into a magical dog paradise - not only for Friday, but for every stray they can find.

But when the barking dogs make the neighbors and the suddenly out-of-work local dog catchers suspicious, Andi and Bruce have to use every invention at their disposal to prevent them from finding out "who let the dogs in."

Jake T. Austin told KEWL about shooting the film and the trouble with dogs... 

"We shot for 4 months. The movie itself would have taken 2 months but because we had so many dogs, it took 4 months. It time waiting for them to do everything correctly.

"You can’t really expect anything out of them though because, well,... they’re dogs. They used so many different dogs that were supposed to play the same dog but dogs were getting fired left and right! Whether they went to the bathroom on the set, or whatever, they just kept disappearing. It was an interesting experience."
