Atomic Dog is an 1998 film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Daniel Hugh Kelly and Cindy Pinkett. The story tells of a dog who, after being exposed to radiation, begins the search to identify himself with a pack.
A man befriends a puppy of about 3 months old that lives in an atomic plant. One day, a labor accident causes the people working in the plant to abandon it, including the man. However, he has no chance of retrieving the puppy, who has to stay inside.
A few years later, a family moves into the town along with their female dog. Somehow, the puppy, now an atomic dog, manages to escape the plant and discovers the female dog. He has an enhanced sense of smell, strength and memory only given to wolves. They mate and have a litter of puppies. However, upon delivering, the female dog perishes. She is buried in the backyard.
