In the movie “Superman”, Superman required his furry companion for assistance in saving the world. However, it’s Krypto’s off-screen heroics that might be most noteworthy. The chaotic, super-powered canine from the film has sparked a significant increase in online searches about adopting rescue dogs, following its successful opening weekend.
As a film enthusiast, I stumbled upon an intriguing piece of news at The Wrap: the dog training app Woofz reported an astounding surge in Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” following the opening weekend of James Gunn’s blockbuster superhero movie. This search term saw an impressive 513% increase! Additionally, there was a notable uptick in inquiries for “rescue dog adoption near me,” with a 163% spike. It seems that the power of movies can extend beyond the screen and inspire real-life actions like adopting a furry friend!
As a passionate moviegoer, let me tell you that this film surpasses expectations in the most heartwarming ways. The protagonist, Krypto, may appear simple at first glance, but he’s based on the director’s own dog, Ozu. While penning the script, Gunn adopted Ozu, and it’s truly super how Ozu has inspired others to give loving homes to shelter dogs who desperately need them. It’s a fitting tribute to the power of love and compassion that this film embodies.
It’s not unexpected that Woofz is informing potential owners about the responsibilities involved in adopting a rescue dog, given the impactful influence films can have on viewers. In 1996, for instance, Disney’s live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians triggered a surge in people acquiring their own spotted dogs. Interestingly, past re-releases of the animated version also resulted in a significant increase in Dalmatian adoptions. However, many people were not adequately prepared to care for them, leading to numerous returns and a phenomenon that came to be known as “The Dalmatian Syndrome.
Taking care of a rescue dog isn’t something that should deter anyone. Remember, it involves a significant commitment. You’re agreeing to nurture a vulnerable being who may require additional affection and understanding. As Superman demonstrated, even with robots to aid him, it was challenging for Clark Kent. Caring for a rescue dog requires a truly exceptional individual.
