Drawing from tales of furry companions all over the globe, Netflix’s new doc series Dogs is looking to warm audiences’ hearts just in time for the end of fall.
Each episode of the series chronicles a separate true story about the relationship between humans and the dogs in their life. As the newest trailer shows, these chapters span four different continents, spanning from Syria to Japan. Some focus on dogs who have effectively become children for families in need, some focus on getting beloved companions out of war zones, and others center on the way that dogs can help make life easier for people with disabilities. (And then there are a handful of clips of a majestic group of dogs making their way across a countryside landscape. Good job, “Dogs.”)
The series comes from prolific doc producer Glen Zipper and the versatile Amy Berg, whose previous work has included directing the Oscar-winning doc Deliver Us from Evil and serving on the writing staff for the excellent Starz drama Counterpart
Berg will direct part of the series, joining an impressive collection of filmmakers. Roger Ross Williams (Life, Animated), Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp), T.J. Martin and Daniel Lindsay (Undefeated), Richard Hankin (The Jinx), and Noaz Deshe (White Shadow) are also behind the camera for various installments.
