Netflix's Dogs is a heartwarming alternative to dark, cerebral television

The Daily Beast

"Sometimes, you just want a show that will make you feel a little less dead inside, and that’s where Netflix’s latest docuseries, Dogs, comes in," says Libby Torres. "Each episode of the six-part series focuses on an individual dog and their owner(s), and the issues—political, social, health-related, or otherwise—that they’re facing. It’s a premise similar to that of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, but instead of exploring places and problems through food, Dogs examines sociological issues through the eyes of, well, dogs."
