Now that Netflix has cleared its side of the dog and cat debate, ‘Inside the Mind of a Dog’ comes out two years after its counterpart ‘Inside the Mind of a Cat’ and it is easy to see why the two documentaries were made in such a manner to highlight the cuteness of pets in order. As if anyone around here hates dogs. Everyone knows dogs are incredible pets, i have had my share of them as well though not as close as cats who have to be the most loving animals to man. (There’s nothing wrong with loving cats and dogs, provided the extra psychological stress does not bother you) Nonetheless, Rob Lowe narrates the documentary ‘Mind of a Dog’ about dogs and how they interact with people whilst managing average dog interaction levels so that the audience’s appetite for playing with puppies and slow-motion jumping dogs is still satisfied. This is going to be a winner for Netflix for sure.

INSIDE THE MIND OF A DOG: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

The Gist: Nobody seemed to care when John Wick massacred eight percent of the population after his canine friend was killed by the antagonists. There was universal agreement that his actions were totally reasonable and perhaps, the most logical reason in the whole movie. Here’s to all the dog lovers out there, this film further justifies the existence of a documentary like Inside the Mind of a Dog, which answers many questions you might have about your dumb but cute Rover and Lil Nummynums: How dumb are they anyway? Do they feel? Do they have an extraordinary sense of smell? And so does your dog love you?

We begin with a short history of dogs, which to be fair, are 99.9 percent wolves regardless of whether they are exuding character or cuteness.

The domestication timeline began when primitive mankind, would make food waste, or ‘yummy trash’ as a talking head here puts it, which wolves would scavenge, and they would end up becoming allies to us. (“Shoot, Netflix’s next documentary should emphasize how styling canines of various breeds is insane!”) “Survival of the friendliest” is how the professionals attempt to phrase it, which is an apt idiom. The science of Pawprints as we know it, and also that every dog has a nose.

Then, the doc tackles the issue of the training of the service dogs. It’s an interesting start to peel what happens inside Poochie’s brain. A few dogs are followed for instance, the Akita Bonus and the retriever/Debby Peabody during training, and different stages of what seem to be painstaking discipline methods are utilized: Teasing a retriever with a piece of meat and then allowing the pup to take it, flooding a dog with tennis balls while searching for a particular toy, etc.

Facts are being thrust upon us like fastballs from Orel Hershiser: Bank criticisms and dog wags into the sleeves of the remaining coats. Dogs have been conditioned to break the chain of anxiety. Sixteen different mobile ethnics come naturally to straying canines of which some have borrowed from their biped buddies. Their ears are four times more attuned than ours, not to mention their oh geez, their olfactories! A can of their rotten dead fish must be a paradise for them, they can SMELL cancer. Just about everything can make these creatures think. We can smell need or surrender, so does it mean love? A rhetorical question, which yes! And do they give it back? NO SPOILERS!

What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: It’s too bad, otherwise I would be a witness attendant of the Dog Mind/Cat Mind War. Because of this, there is an absence of an informational war. In order to further investigate visual endeavors, the Netflix documentary The Hidden Lives of Pets examines similar topics. Then we are told to ask ourselves, what is the next? A gerbil mind? Or the heart of a goldfish? Let us canvass for any resolution that forgets to document an aquarium snail’s love. The possibilities are endless!

The boy’s coach decides to take him to an amusement park that is repetitive while providing visual images. The boy, however, does little but flop over on his back, snoring all the while even though the wait-to-ride-a-major-screaming-hyper-twists-amongst-a-lotin-of-cakes on offer can be quite soothing. Dude, that’s a real superpower.

Funny Quote: “Favorites are determined in this order: Be Cuddled, Have your Butt Scratch. It really makes him go wild.”

Our Opinion: Where else would they have put the canine cognition center and puppy kindergarten if not Duke University, ‘See Spot Run Run Spot Run Community College’ would have simply been too obvious. People’s brains from Harvard are also presented here which tells us pretty much that The Mind of a Dog is a fact-based documentary aimed at science and not this touchy-feely stuff and that is a good thing. Sure, doting is inescapable because even the most gruesome-looking dogs are cute, whether they are butt sniffing and tail chasing or busy finding people trapped under rubble after an earthquake or waking Vietnam veterans suffering from PTSD in the midst of a dry-screaming, terrifying night-terror dream sequence.

Yet the film is not only about service dogs and warfare. The training of a service dog begins with behavioral conditioning so it is only logical that there is a segment of the film in which the newly-trained dogs are given new owners the end result will warm your heart and make you wish you had the two warm towels that little kids have.

At seventy-five minutes, the film is quite short and to the point and crisp, but all the questions one might have such as, for instance, the likelihood of dogs being able to sniff out Parkinson’s or diabetes, or whether people who own service dogs have grown to be tolerant to slobber on their door latches, switches, and other such areas are not addressed. (This picture actually doesn’t deal with the drool.)

And yes, your dog does love you, needless to say. That remark that is ruining the ending has in truth been said out of jest. It was common knowledge, and realistically one did not need this film for empirical evidence of such ‘facts’ although, it has quite a convincing argumentation. No, in fact, you will discover a great number of other dog facts as well as their behavior and communication with humans, and this is the crux of this captivating and interesting documentary.
