A dog finds a hidden packet. A man offers a reward. Soon, the dog chooses the route — and the man still calls himself the owner. GOOD DOG is a darkly satirical animated short about dependence, control and the quiet reversal of power. Set in a ruined industrial city, it combines an engraved graphic-novel look with animated scenes, an ASCII perception sequence, visual communication and an original soundtrack. The film is based on the creator’s original story, which later developed into the Good Dogs of the Apocalypse trilogy. This short is its own adaptation, rather than a summary of all three books.
