Director: Valerie Buhagiar
A wave of unexplained dog attacks turns an ordinary Canadian city into a place of dread in "The Dogs," a 2025 drama-thriller from director Valerie Buhagiar.
What is The Dogs about?
Something has gone wrong with the strays roaming the edges of town. Bite after bite piles up at the hospital where a young doctor, played by Donovan Colan, starts noticing a pattern nobody else wants to see. As panic spreads through the neighborhood, city officials scramble for a quick fix while residents form their own theories about what triggered the sudden aggression. Kathleen Munroe and Kristen Holden-Ried round out a cast caught between institutional denial and street-level fear, and the film uses the outbreak as a lens on how communities behave when the threat can't be easily named or contained. Rather than playing the premise purely for shock, the story leans into the doctor's mounting isolation as she pushes against colleagues who would rather the whole thing quietly go away.

Context & significance
"The Dogs" is a Canadian production released in 2025, blending drama and thriller elements around a public-health mystery rather than leaning on a single genre. Its 100-minute runtime keeps the escalation tight, moving from isolated incidents to citywide unease without padding.
