This is an exhausting marketing ploy by their agent/manager

Many films have had dogs as their protagonist. Fewer have been horror films. Professor of film studies Ben Leonberg's dog, Indy, has delivered a masterclass in acting in Good Boy (2025). I've seen lots of films with dogs as the main character. Trained animals do not achieve what we consider "acting", however. It's not within their scope. Indy isn't an actor either, but the approach with which he has been handled, as the director's own companion - and filmed such that his natural behaviours lend themselves to the script through clever cinematography, are innovative and gripping. If you watch one horror film this spooky season, I think the best possible one for any dog lover, is Good Boy.

How did the dog make its wishes clear? I haven't seen this movie yet, although I want to, but if you're telling me this dog can fucking talk and it's not camera tricks, I'm gonna watch it ASAP!

Look I love dogs and all but if Demi didn't get one for The Substance I can't get behind this, no matter how silly and fun
