Nella mente di un cane

A documentary on the thought processes, intelligence and personalities of dogs, examining their history and relationship with wolves, their domestication and uses in helping people. In particular, we see how dogs are selected and trained to be service dogs.

An interesting look into what makes man's best friend tick. Some decent insights, including looking back on dog's descent from wolves, domestication and breeding and how these shaped their personalities and uses.

The coverage of the selection and training to be service dogs was very interesting and ultimately quite emotional as we see the dogs get placed with various people with different issues, requiring dogs of varying personalities and abilities.

Not quite as profound as I was expecting though. I was expecting some major breakthroughs to be revealed but, unless you're unaware that dogs can be trained to help out humans, a lot of the stuff is hardly revolutionary.

Still, very interesting and who doesn't like to see footage of cute doggies living their best lives!

I will make it short. The dog training bit was a bit boring and the documentary was not super deep on the psychology of the dogs but it was fun, cute and enjoyable. A couple of funny moments were this African American guy who had a bunch of one liners dad jokes (you know the one) and an R rated 3 seconds clip of a woman getting licked inside her mouth by a dog right at the beginning of the documentary (wtf).

It seemed like a documentary that confirms what dog owners already knew but now can be smug about sharing all these little facts with their friends and family in parties and to other dog people in the park.

Not really memorable but an enjoyable Saturday night watch if you are a bit lost on what to do.

I may be focusing on the wrong thing here, however there are at least two, up close, slow motion scenes of humans letting their dog lick/tongue them IN the mouth. I'll say it again... Slow motion. It's absolutely repulsive and made me just turn it off. I have a dog that is my favorite thing ever in life. She is my BFF and child. I understand get "doggy kisses" when they lick you a little bit on the lips then you turn away, but this is literally pathologically disgusting, as dogs eat feces and there's no reason to ever make out with your dog!!! Perhaps this was a good thing because the reviews indicate that there isn't a lot of science-based content within this film, and I would have been disappointed anyhow. Note to filmmaker: Maybe next time don't put it so close, in our faces, slowed down while dogs and humans tongue one another. So gross, I can't.

A very informative (albeit not too heavy on the science - which I would have preferred) look into the absolutely the most accepting life form to have evolved on this planet.

From how they have evolved and how our training methods have evolved wot make the best use of their abilities and how we could do better to be better friends to our best friends, this documentary looks into a bit of everything that is Dog.

Whether you love dogs, are afraid of them, are unsure about them, this will be a worthy watch that will help us understand what makes these bundles of delight so successful at playing our heartstrings.

I think I shouldn't start with this, but...i sometimes look at how people rate titles in percentage, almost never a documentary just the ones I think of being divisive, and for some reason I looked it up here, I still don't believe people gave this 1...I really would like to know why, maybe they are cats raised to hate or fear dogs..no, just monsters... So, the movie, difficult subject, needs 10 seasons 11 episodes a season and by the end at least half again, revised what changed and half new information. Focusing on one dog one story would not be sufficient, styles of different videos hard to compose together, feels like nothing new, a safe choice, a tv documentary of the 90s with some higher quality shots. The title isn't exactly proper for it, I can understand how it overlaps, I also was expecting something else. It is always great to see dogs, people who love them, them working together, like I mentioned before, please expect more from yourselves and explore their world broader, as new information, creativity and style etc. Goes it is not better than a 5, but it's theme is always 11 for me.
