"The Devotion"

I found that film rather trippy. It was like “Doctor Doolittle” meets “Looks Who’s Talking.” I really did not see it coming having Hank being an actual dog. But looking back it makes sense. I initially thought he was just an insecure ADD person, especially when he jumps up at a random neighbor walking by. But now, I see he is representing the dog’s position in a relationship involving two others. The poor dog is a third wheel. It was interesting when Hank wanted to get rid of Richard. And the vacuum cleaner. At first, it seems like the woman is having an affair with someone half her age. And perhaps the vacuum was a gift from Richard, and Hank wants to get rid of it because he knows it is a way of saying Richard owns the woman. The good thing is Hank is really devoted to protecting the woman, even from a random stranger. And to top it off, Hank proposes to the woman with a chewed up toy duck. I found it suspicious about he would propose with a chewed up toy.  When it was revealed that Hank was a dog, it was like a proposal from dog to person. It was very ingenious overall. I recommend to keep showing it.
