Dogs

I smiled, I cried, it was so cute and great stories

Not as much about dogs as the title leads you to believe. More about human stories and how dogs play a role in them. Episode 2 is particularly political and non-dog based. That episode deserves a 1-2. As someone who has had to move around considerably and leave their dog behind the pushier aspect of the series got old quick. Tell me stories about the human/dog relationship. The book"my life in dogs years" would've made afar better series.

I was a bit perplexed and also felt decieved as this show claims to be about dogs. Its not. Its about the humans, and their attachments to their dogs. Yes its shot atmospheric and all but its only that. Nice atmospheric photage.

There is almost nothing about the dogs per say. There is often not even real close ups on them. We don't even get to know them, we only get to know the humans and how and why they are attached. Corinns story is so moving. But the focus is not on the dog, at all.

Overall, the episodes feals incomplete in some ways. Even when we get almost 1 hour per episode, its something missing in every one of them.

For ex the one with the Japanese groomers. It felt like the episode was cut off. Like, we followed the episode, for what? In the end it felt just like an interview o the participants, sadly, because they were so interesting. The dogs are, not the foucus as said..

The second one with the refugee and the dog Zeus. Was hard to watch. I was taken a back at howAyham seems to care more about his dog then his family, mother and friends. Also, it was horrible to see how Najid was smooking in front of the dog in several scenes! He practically sticks the cigarett in the dogs nose! Thats terrible! What kind of an animal lovers iare thise people? One would not smooke or put a cigg close to the face of ones child right? Or I guess thise people would...

And the camera crew is just ok with this?

The only interesting episode was Ice in Italy. But they had just one great photage where the focus was on him, the last scenes where the dog is walking to the beach at night alone. More of that pleas.

Overall, nice photage and quality camera work. Other then that, its documentary style series focus on humans, talking about their dogs.. I'm so disppointed as I always get with Netflix originals...

Society frowns upon people expressing love too often to each other. It's much easier to hug your dog than it is to tell your parents, kids or loved ones that you love them, in most cases. Dogs, or pets in general, are an outlet for expressing love, an instinctual need we all have, and they serve this purpose beautifully. This series demonstrates the mutual affection we share with dogs in our lives.

I dare you not to shed a tear at some point during each episode, I know I did.

I've watched the first two episodes of Dogs and already cried several times. These are definitely some heartwarming stories that remind us how Man's Best Friend earned his title. However, there is an excessive amount of b-roll in this series. I find myself waiting for a cut to something that adds to the story during long periods of dramatic b-roll. It would be fine if they didn't drag it out so much. My take: cut the fat, make this a 30 m show, and it could be a hit!
