Perhaps you're thinking of a movie with a similar theme, like:
* "The Lion King" (1994): While not a dog, Simba is a lion cub who is separated from his family and grows up thinking he's just a regular animal.
* "The Shaggy Dog" (1959 or 2006): These movies involve characters turning into dogs, but not lions.
Could you give more details about the movie you're thinking of? For example:
* What year was it released?
* What genre is it? (e.g., comedy, fantasy, etc.)
* Are there any other memorable scenes or characters?
