Good Boy (Dogs from Outer Space)

Good Boy is a science fiction film made in 2003 and based on the novel "Dogs from Outer Space" written by Zeke Richardson who also helped to write the screenplay. I watched the movie in December with my family, but I had a very difficult time enjoying the story and probably not for the usual reasons: bad story, horrible acting, rotten filming, no, I have a personal reason for not enjoying the movie. The story is unique, the voices of the dogs cute, and I wish there were some dogs from outer space who would return to Earth to see what has been happening to their species, at least where I live. The movie is about dogs who came to Earth thousands of years ago to rule the world but ended up being pets to human beings. The dogs from outer space decide to recall all dogs from Earth back to whence they came because this was not the original plan. Well, I wish that could happen because it just breaks my heart to see people dumping their dogs ( and cats) in the street because they can no longer feed them during this financial depression. Daily, I see dogs with collars and even a leash, disoriented and lost in the street with no street smarts because they were house pets. On a bike ride, I personally witnessed a large older dog being pushed out of a car, with the children crying in the back seat and the parents in the front driving off while the dog followed the car running at top speed for SIX blocks, trying to jump in the car at each red light, until the car was able to lose the dog. I cannot repeat here in my blog what I yelled at the people, but myself and my cycling mate stopped to help the elderly dog because she was tired, lost, and confused and at risk of getting hit by a car. Fortunately, a man in front of his house saw what had happened and between the three of us got her and he decided to keep her, and believe me, he did not have a rich house and looked very poor but was willing to share his food with her and take care of her.
I know times are tough but it is painful to see animals being dumped in the street and makes me wonder when I will start seeing dead babies in the trash, oh wait, that has happened, umbilical cord and all!
I hope people in the future will think 2, 3, or 4 times before taking in a pet, pets have feelings, needs, and when we care for them, they get used to the care. Dumping them in the street is no guarantee they will survive, I have seen them get hit, dogs on three legs with no tail, and looking like skeletons from starvation, I have seen one dog eating a dead dog because of lack of food. As I said before, I wish dogs and cats would come from outer space and recall pets that are left in the street because they are suffering on a daily basis.
