Having just watched the CGI eagle in Peacemaker, I'd be interested in how convincing a CGI dog could be these days.

Nice that they plan to do it with a real dog, though, not that I care much. I didn't see the first one, and I won't see this one.

They did a CGI dog in Superman and Supergirl, based on the real dog James Gunn has adopted. It's VERY convincing.
