Get a Dog's Perspective of a Horror Film in Ben Leonberg's GOOD BOY

In a world with endless programming that IS or MAY AS WELL have been made with your animal companion in mind, it was only a matter of time before our perspective would slide down to knee-height, allowing us a canine-view of horrors unfolding. In horror-thriller GOOD BOY, a canine companion steps forward to give his side of this tail..umm..tale. Will the camera tilt slightly as our pup-hero takes in the inexplicable? Will he stand his ground on all 4 paws and bark back the danger, or follow his baser instincts and run for the hills?? All of this AND MORE will be revealed when GOOD BOY hits theaters October 3rd.
