I am legend.

And, if you're feeling brave, the original Star Wars trilogy

The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Toto is important, and moves the plot, but then, maybe he's just a MacGuffin.

The original filmed and edited version didn't have Baxter coming back after the Jack Black scene, and test audiences hated it so much that they want back to film a new ending that unexpectedly brought Baxter back for that pivotal scene.

"Good Boy". Its a pretty basic haunted house movie, from the perspective of a dog.

Air Bud is a dog movie on the surface, but has a surpisingly well done underlying story of a boy struggling with the loss of his father.

Is ‘guy dies and is reincarnated into a purgatory-like existence of a sapient dog that lives with but cannot communicate with his family’ a dog movie that’s not a dog movie? Because if so, Fluke. (It is very poorly reviewed)

Don’t forget his best friend (or business partner?) moves in and starts dating your ex wife and raising your kids

Dogville.

Or maybe I misunderstood the question, and/or the movie.

The dog is a drawing on the ground. It has a very small part, yet the dog won an award in Cannes for the movie.

Would Wolf Children count? It’s about a single mum raising werewolf pups. Anime film.
