An article looks back at Chuck Norris's 1995 film "Top Dog", in which the martial arts star found himself overshadowed on screen by his canine co-star. The piece centres on a quote from an acting coach who worked on the production, reflecting on how the dog's natural screen presence outshone Norris despite the coach's efforts to keep the human star front and centre.

Little further detail is given beyond the coach's candid admission that "the dog was really great", a wry acknowledgement that animal performers can sometimes eclipse even established action stars. The piece uses this anecdote as a light-hearted look back at one of Norris's lesser-remembered 1990s films.
