REPRESENTATION OF DOGS

Whilst I have considered good representation of dogs, I haven't look at BAD representation of dogs. One film I have looked at is 'Cujo', the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel. he gentle St. Benrard, Cujo is bitten by a dog with rabies, and so turns savage and carnage ensues.
Another film I looked at was 'Dog Soldiers', and one point that interested me was that at the start of the film, a soldier was asked to shoot a dog and he refused - this shows people's attitudes towards dogs as good.
One point I did notice about these films was that the dogs bad nature was not self inflicted, they had had something happen to them to make them turn vicious.
