On November 16, 2018, Netflix added a new docuseries, Dogs, to their library, and it’s been giving people everywhere (dog lovers in particular, but pretty much everyone else too) a whole lot of emotions.
The series was inspired by a chance encounter that Glen Zipper (the creator) had with a neglected dog on the streets of New Jersey. The dog, Anthony, was eventually shipped off to a shelter and put in line to be euthanized. Thankfully, Glen was able to arrive at the shelter and rescue Anthony just in time! In the process, he also connected with several other dogs at the shelter, and Dogs was born.

Glen said, “Our love for [dogs] speaks to our unanimity of needs. Love. Friendship. Companionship. Loyalty. We all want these qualities in our lives, and dogs are the only souls on the planet who guarantee us each and every one of them in spades.”
