I highly recommend this film. It will take you to Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America and show you how people of different cultures relate to dogs.

Do we, as humans, deserve to have dogs in our lives? Depending on where you go, dogs give emotional support, herd sheep, find rare truffles, or hang out in pubs. Some cultures pamper "community" dogs; others neglect strays.

Other reviews have criticized this film unfairly due to a segment filmed in Vietnam, where some people view dogs as livestock - as a food source. This is presented realistically but not for shock value. We do not see the moment a dog is slaughtered for food, but we do see a carcass and meat being prepared. The film reveals a puzzling duality; in Vietnam, people view some dogs as beloved pets, but "native" dogs as a source of food. If you are especially disturbed that some people in Asia eat dog meat, then what does that say about people who eat beef (taboo in India),pork (taboo in the Middle East),chicken, goat, deer, etc.? There are people who have an affinity for each of these animals and wouldn't dream of them ending up on the dinner table.

Dog meat is not the only disturbing theme in this film. Even more heartbreaking is a segment in Uganda, in which people who survived the atrocities of war, only to be shunned in peacetime. Dogs helped them heal and re-integrate into society.

What I took away from this film is that dogs are a gift to humanity, and it is up to us to treat them well. I gave my pups extra treats and belly rubs after seeing "We Don't Deserve Dogs."

I found this film fascinating - I loved seeing the way humans and their dogs interact in such different ways all around the world.

Some of the stories are heartwarming (I loved the story of Chino the street dog!),and others are heartbreaking, like the stories of former child soldiers in Uganda who use dogs as emotional support animals.

As others have noted, the filmmakers do include a scene that examines the culture of dog meat preparation in Vietnam. Whilst the scene is challenging to watch, I think it was handled delicately, and appreciate its inclusion in the film.

With beautiful cinematography and a lovely score, the film is a wonderful celebration of the love between humans and dogs. It made me cry - in the best possible way.

Tell me that you can "stomach" watching a poor dog in a wire cage waiting for its death for the sake of $$ And you are trying to show us the humanity/beauty of dogs to the viewing public???

This is disgusting!!!

I hope PETA torments the directors and anyone involved in this atrocity of a film.
