Jamie Foxx lends his voice to Reggie's loyal friend Bug, a small Boston terrier with a huge personality. Bug enjoys his carefree life roaming the streets and isn't shy about sharing his negative thoughts on pet owners.

And, well, he also has a strange habit of humping sofas (but we'll talk more about that later).

Maggie is played by Isla Fisher, known for her roles in various films such as Wedding Crashers, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Now You See Me, and The Great Gatsby.
