Having an animal nearby in our households and/or in those of our family and friends is a constant throughout many of our lives. And having a dog in particular often feels like this symbiotic relationship where us humans get unconditional love, protection and a fuzzy friend that will follow us anywhere in exchange for giving them a safe and fulfilling life by your side. Ben Leonberg’s Good Boy explores this idea thoughtfully in the framing of a horror movie with man’s best friend serving as the protagonist – somehow for the first time in cinema history, and it’s a first-well executed.
