Summary
"Americans have had a long love affair with dogs, with many of us referring to our canine companions as best friends, significant others, soul mates, even children. But lost amidst all the pampering and pedestaling are hard and often tragic truths surrounding dog ownership, care and commerce, not to mention the daunting odds continuing to face millions of unwanted shelter dogs. Divided into three parts - "Fear," "Loss," and "Betrayal"--This ... documentary is comprised of different stories that probe the complicated and conflicted relationships we have with canines. Collectively, the segments reveal the sobering realities behind our relationship with dogs, showing not only how far some dog lovers will go for their pets, but how far we as a nation have to go in order to treat all dogs humanely."--Container
