Tired Dog is a Good Dog Parts 1 & 2 (A)

One of Lax’s most personal works, A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG, PART ONE explores animal husbandry from the perspective of a quadruplet raised in a dog breeding family. Incorporating original footage and family archive, the film analyses canine behaviour, humans playing as dogs through kink, and his own identity. 19 mins

In part two, pack behaviour is explored along with notions of dominance, submission, trust and consent, both within human and dog relationships and within pup play. Love and bonding become a central theme, weaving together further investigation into pup relationships, training sessions with a traumatised dog and Lax’s own relationship to the dogs in his life that he has loved and lost. 48mins
