Documentary: One Nation Under Dog

[HalfInsane]

Just watched this today, it's an HBO exclusive doc. Very painful viewing at some points.

Was curious if anyone else had seen it?

I love your response.


Although we do not subscibe to the channel ourselves, it is extremely popular in the United States.

For the most part, IMHO, it does not have much to offer to us.

HBO is a cable TV channel that usually comes with several other movie channels as part of a "premium" package for an additional fee.

To summarize, its about the relationship between people and dogs in Western society. Theres a lot of focus on pet overpopulation and the shelter system. It wasn't anything really novel if you already have some knowledge on what the film discusses, but it was interesting none the less.

I actually don't have HBO either; it happened to be on when I was visiting my parents, since they do have HBO. You might be able to find it online.

I watched a little of it. The portion I saw was sort of annoying because it was a family of rich people talking a dog bite incident that they didnt want to report because they did not know the dog owner's status in town as far as country clubs.... This family didnt want to jeopardize their chance joining a country club or to be ostracized from their snobby neighborhood. It was so off putting to me but the documentary focused on this story cause it made national news because it involved wealthy people. Did anyone notice this?
