Warner Bros. is going to the dogs and will develop “Nubs,” a feel-good story of a pooch and a U.S. Marine, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Nubs was in town recently for a book signing in Mission Viejo.

“Nubs” tells the story of a stray dog that Maj. Brian Dennis rescued while on a tour of duty in Iraq. After nursing the dog back to health and caring for it as his own, he arranged to have him shipped back to the U.S. and was reunited with the dog when his tour ended.

The story became a media phenomenon in the fall, with Dennis and Nubs making appearances on such programs as “Today,” “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The Iraq War will serve as a backdrop, but the picture is not expected to contain combat scenes.
