HBO Airing Documentary About Our Relationships with Dogs

Dogs are a powerful and poignant example of our relationship with animals. In the U.S. we keep millions of them in our homes. Some of us spend millions on them. For many of us, they're part of the family and bring us great joy. And we also kill them by the millions because there aren't enough homes for them. We experiment on them, keep them in tiny, dirty cages to breed and sell them, and we abuse and neglect them. Such a dichotomy.

In its new documentary about dogs, which airs Monday, June 18, HBO explores pieces of this conflicting relationship. Here's their brief synopsis:
