Our Dog, Blue.

Our Dog, Blue. is more than the director’s chronicle of his summer of rescuing a lost Cane Corso Puppy found randomly running down the highway. It is an evaluation of the importance of responsible dog breeding, puppy socialization and training. While the documentary is bittersweet demonstrating the love that the director’s family has for Blue and his love for the family, it also addresses with objective professionalism these more serious topics. The topic of euthanasia is handled with great sensitivity and the viewer ends up with a better understanding of the potential pitfalls of rescuing a guarding breed.

Director Statement

My experience with Blue in 2018 was the most interesting, the happiest and saddest experience I've ever been through. I couldn't just put all this to rest like as if it never happened, which is what inspired me to make this documentary to bring awareness to this issue. "Our Dog, Blue." is bittersweet to the audience, but for me it was about the saddest moment in my life today.
