Literally days away from "Hotel for Dogs" theatrical release, Yahoo! Movies has got its hands on an exclusive clip of the DreamWorks family comedy movie. Entitled "Being Rescued", the nearly one and a half minute video previews the scene where 16-year-old Andi, her younger brother Bruce and their friends are in a mission to save stray dogs.

Opening the clip, Andi played by Emma Roberts and Dave portrayed by Johnny Simmons come across two stray dogs, one of them is stuck under a fence. After rescuing the pair, another rescue attempt is taking over the screen. This time, the dog rescue crew sets up a scheme which allows them to release a group of captured stray dogs from a dogcatcher's van. Aside from this newly-released clip, "Hotel for Dogs" has previously let out nine other clips.

Toplined by Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin, "Hotel for Dogs" tells the story of two orphans who have to quickly find a new home for their dog, Friday, when their new foster parents forbid them to have a pet. One day, they stumble upon an abandoned hotel. Seeing it as a fit place to hide Friday, they transform it into a dog-paradise and also help stray dogs to find a shelter there.

However, when the dogs' bark generates suspicion among the neighbors, they now have to figure out way to keep others away from the hotel. Aside from Roberts and Austin, the family movie is also supported by Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon and Don Cheadle. Coming out into U.S theaters on January 16, it is directed by Thor Freudenthal using the script penned by Jeff Lowell.
