No one is stalked in Strays. I believe the yeses are in reference to a different movie with a similar title.

It depends on how you view the ending, the protagonist tries to leave without hurting the abuser before getting locked in the house with him and nearly killed so the abused’s violence is in self-defense until the abuser is pinned down and the final attack is inflicted.

The owner, Doug, is an alcoholic and a mean one too who lashes out at his dog Reggie- especially when he’s drunk. Not sure how so many people missed that…

I love this movie and watched all the special features (including behind the scenes with the dog actors) and they were all treated wonderfully, like stars. Benny (who plays Bug in the film) was even cuddled between takes and one of the puppies who played Reggie was later adopted by the director. They also got lots of treats.

Two dogs fight during the inevitable breakup scene that most buddy movies have, but it doesn’t go far and isn’t done for the entertainment of people (in-universe).

Bug is very sad when recalling memories of the incident with his person, Emma. Reggie is sad when he realizes Doug doesn’t love him. Maggie is sad when she sees her former owner at the dog park with her new dog (who replaced Maggie). Hunter is disappointed in himself for failing police dog training. Dogs in the shelter are depressed, nihilistic and fatalistic. But pound puppies break out of doggie prison, so that’s good.

Genital maiming is used to punish the abuser in a way that’s portrayed as comical and sympathetic but not sexual assault.

Reggie refers to the gnome he humps as “son” and says something to the effect of “I met my son and we had sex”, but he doesn’t know what he’s saying, really. It’s just a joke. Bug says “who’s your daddy” to the gnome he’s humping, so Reggie misinterpreted that.

The manager of the dog pound is painting a nude self portrait and speculating on how well his dad will like it.

Sort of. Narrator Dog (in the carnival scene) waxes poetically about how he knows deep, important, relevant secrets (such as how his owner is a serial killer) but nobody wants to listen to a Narrator Dog.

Reggie opts to stay a stray and mentor other strays while Bug (and others) find homes. Reggie gets to go over and hang out at Bug’s new place whenever he wants. Hunter becomes a therapy dog and Maggie becomes a police dog. They start a relationship.

I guess it’s only sad for owner, Doug, who doesn’t get his penis reattached.
