A snow-white cotton ball of a dog named Gidget who has attachment issues. A big, schlubby, emotionally inconsistent dog named Duke who looks a bit like a Snuffleupagus.
The Secret Life of Pets is by no means great art, but what saves it from being a hugely predictable Toy Story ripoff/monomyth-by-numbers is simply the fact that it has dogs. Eddie the Jack Russell was indisputably the least irritating character on Frasier. White Fang saved a judge from a murderous criminal. When Odysseus returned to Ithaca and disguised himself as a beggar, Argos recognized his owner even when his best friend, Eumaeus, couldn’t.
Great art has occasionally had the acuity to recognize that dogs are superior to humans.
