Cujoยs got nothing on the German shepherd in White Dog. A young woman whoยs just picked up a stray is horrified to discover that heยs been trained to attack black people. She wants to get him retrained, but the only guy willing to take it on is African-American. That makes training sessions a little difficult, since itยs hard to protect your jugular and hold a leash at the same time.
About 30 minutes into the film, you realize there are only two ways White Dog can end. The dog eats the trainer. The dog eats someone else. Either way, itยs lots of fun to watch. 8:30 p.m. Domy, 1709 Westheimer. For information, call 713-523-3669 or visit www.domystore.com. Free.
