There’s a saying in showbusiness: don’t work with kids and definitely don’t work with animals. Director Josh Greenbaum, then, has committed a cardinal Hollywood sin with Strays, an R-rated comedy that sees neglected Border Terrier Reggie (voiced by Will Ferrell) team up with a motley – and cute – crew of good boys and girls to get back at his owner Doug (Will Forte).
For Greenbaum, everything – from humping couches to pooping on command – not only had to look real, it had to be real. Which is why Strays recruited a willing team of puppers to star in front of the camera.
