Inside the Mind of a Dog is heading to Netflix and is not surprisingly brought to you by the people who made Inside the Mind of a Cat!
Narrated by Hollywood star Rob Lowe, the documentary aims to take you into the weird and wonderful minds of dogs.
Rob is the perfect man to narrate as he has four dogs himself — Daisy (Russell Terrier), Owen (German Shorthaired Pointer), Oscar (Russell Terrier) and Bella (Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua). He even featured in the 2023 Netflix film Dog Gone, which tells the inspirational story of a dog named Gonker who goes missing on the Appalachian Trail.
Four-time Emmy award-winning documentary maker Andy Mitchell has made Inside the Mind of a Dog, having previously been behind the cat version. Speaking to Addison County Independent, he said the cat series' success surprised him and led to Inside the Mind of a Dog. "We've had it in our mind to do this since the first one. The cat movie overperformed for them [Netflix]; it did way better than anyone thought it was going to, which is great."
