	A Boy and His Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Boy and His Dog is a science fiction film directed by L.
		The main character, Vic, played by Don Johnson in a notable early role, is an 18-year-old boy mainly concerned with fulfilling his sexual needs, e.g.
		He is accompanied by a well-read and wise-cracking telepathic dog named Blood, played by the dog Tiger, --an "experienced female provider." In addition to locating women for Vic to rape, Blood also has the unenviable task of trying to educate Vic and keep him safe from harm.

	DVD REVIEW: A BOY AND HIS DOG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Thanks to video, cable and college campuses, "A Boy and His Dog" found an audience that understood and appreciated its story and motivations.
		A testament to the film's strengths is the fact that director George Miller said his "Road Warrior" is basically a remake of "A Boy and his Dog." The cast is amazingly in tune with the concept, especially Johnson, who was still cutting his baby teeth back then.
		I doubt the American Film Institute will add "A Boy and His Dog" to their list of films to restore, so I imagine this is the best you're going to get.

	A boy, his dog and the wilderness / Trip provides challenges, fears, great satisfaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The first wilderness trip for a boy and his dog is a rite of passage.
		Dogs are not permitted in national or state park wilderness, and are not appropriate above tree line (jagged rocks bruise their foot pads).
		But dogs are permitted in national forest wilderness, and in Northern California, much of the PCT is routed through the woods and near many lakes.

	A Boy and His Dog (1975) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A boy communicates telepathically with his dog as they scavenge for food and sex...
		It's based on a Harlan Ellison short story (which is actually one of the few of Ellison's works that I don't care for), and is set in a post-apocalyptic future.
		Don Johnson and his telepathic dog Blood roam the countryside searching for food, women and popcorn.

		The boy of the title is Vic (Don Johnson), who's spent 18 years struggling to survive on the surface.
		The dog is Blood, a cheerful mutt who can communicate telepathically and sounds like one of those ads for Pepperidge Farm -- the one in which the voice is so gol-darned down-home folksy you want to shoot the radio.
		"A Boy and His Dog" is based on a well-known novella by Harlan Ellison, onetime enfant terrible of science fiction and a practitioner of new-wave s-f, in which biological and reproductive functions of men and women are considered at least as important as those of

	A BOY AND HIS DOG
		Made in 1975, A Boy and His Dog had feminists (and all other sorts) up in arms for the movie’s nihilistic sentiments, derived no doubt from sci-fi legend Harlan Ellison’s novella of the same name.
		One of my favourite ‘Seventies sci-fi movies, A Boy and His Dog is based on a pure science fiction premise and ultimately proved to be a huge influence on the Mad Max movies.
		Two trailers for Boy and His Dog are also included, one for its original 1975 release (which plays like a trailer for A Clockwork Orange instead) and its 1980s re-release (which plays like an ad for an “art movie” release).

	A Boy and His Dog by Joanna Russ
		BOY has essentially the same ending as CASABLANCA, although in the latter film getting rid of the woman is romantically glossed over—i.e., she is renounced, not chopped into dog food.
		Since feeding your girlfriend to your dog is neither suspenseful nor tragic—it’s necessary and she deserves nothing better—the end dwindles to a sour joke, exactly as the audience took it.
		Early in BOY Vic finds a woman raped and murdered by a roverpack and comments on what a waste the murder was; she might've been good for a few more times.

	Montreal Mirror - Film : A Boy and His Dog
		The seasoned character actor is describing audience response to his one-time feature as a director, A Boy and His Dog, the '75 film that has fermented into a cult sensation.
		The dog was meant to be communicating with the boy telepathically, and so when Jones approached him with every intention of leaving this key character point intact, Ellison was very pleased.
		So I decided, when A Boy and His Dog was done, that I would show it to him on my own, so when the fight broke out I'd be the only one who might get hurt.

		That was A Boy and His Dog, and it’s about the only movie adaptation you’ll find of an Ellison story.
		He’s not saying “Do this to all women cause I hates them.” He’s saying “A boy loves his dog.” Vic is willing to sacrifice anything in the end for Blood, and in that way, it’s a moving moment.

		Whether or not Ellison's complaints have merit, A BOY AND HIS DOG has come to be regarded as a science-fiction classic, its popularity undoubtedly due to its likeable characters who, despite their constant bickering and individual quirks, are redeemed by their committed friendship and their sarcastically humorous approach to survival.
		With A BOY AND HIS DOG, Jones' intention is not to make deep socio-political innuendos or to meet the average action-fan's prosaic expectations, and sentimentality is obviously far from his mind.
		All in all, A BOY AND HIS DOG is a wonderful interpretation of a classic SF novella, and this DVD will make a great entry in the film collections of SF fans who love quirky non-mainstream films.

	Review for A Boy and His Dog
		Armageddon is a difficult thing to rationalize, lending itself to outlandish scenes of violence and debauchery.
		The idea of a pubescent Don Johnson wandering the lonely wastelands guided by an intelligent and telepathic dog is a new one on me, but for some reason it all fits.
		The two lead an idyllic life, scavenging for food and water in the desolate landscape, but sometimes Blood is able to sniff out a female companion for Vic.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews: A Boy and His Dog
		Vic travels with a dog called Blood (voiced by Tim McIntire), who's not only telepathic but rational enough to view Vic's libido-driven behavior with disdain.
		Instead, A Boy and His Dog juxtaposes the desolate, rubble-strewn surface, where the only culture left to the survivors is badly worn copies of old sex films, and the surreal, silent-majority underground, a dark dreamscape of picnics, marching bands, and a burly enforcer with a permanent smile.
		But Ellison reportedly stated that A Boy and His Dog, a Hugo-winning film based on his Nebula-winning novella, is one of the best adaptations of his work.
