"Inside the Mind of a Dog" (2024, 75 minutes, Netflix documentary) Review by Skye Anderson
Fascinating!
A very well-done documentary, Inside the Mind of Dog, opens with cartoon-like hypotheticals of history because, after all, who was there then to see it all and live to tell about it today?
When did dog become man's best friend and why?
Why are dogs the most varied of all species? Big and small, hairy and not, living in hot climes, living in cold climes. Etc., etc., etc.
With segments of differing lengths to keep our interest, Inside easily succeeds in that. From cartoonish speculations to research scientists and veterinarians. . . . but perhaps the longest, most entertaining and educational segment is about the training of service dogs, how they are matched with their humans, and what a life-changing difference they can make in the lives of their special humans with whom they are so closely bonded. You may even become teary-eyed watching some of the dogs the documentary follows!
Other segments cover working dogs, canine research, the dogs' fabulous sense of smell, and, best of all, no dogs die in this film! Instead, you will see plenty of dogs jumping around.
After watching Inside the Mind of a Dog, you may be interested in Netflix' Inside the Mind of a Cat! (next)
