Canis Familiaris

A web series by Joris Goulenok, 2023

A midlife crisis is bad enough for a human. But Max is a 7-year-old Labrador.

Max is top-dog in the neighbourhood and has everything he needs to be happy. But Max is bored sick. When he begins to wonder whether life might offer “something else”, he spirals into an existential crisis that threatens to undermine the little local pack and his status as its leader.
