Others have pretty well summed up the story, I just wanted to add that this movie is the typical sadist, subjectivist, anti-life on earth, bed-wetter's "life is bad" movie, where they take the most funny and cheerful dog breed and personify him as a little monster; damned from the start. No I don't own a Bull Terrier. I should be so lucky some day. As one reviewer already stated... by the end of the movie the dog winces and such. (...)

NOT FOR KIDS.

Thru the mirror darkly
Baxter goes thru three masters.

The first, an elderly lady who didn't like him or understand him.

The second was the "paradise" he would view from the old ladies window, the loving young couple across the street.This blissful match was shortlived by the arrival of THE BABY.

Finally he goes to a boy who he feels total camaraderie with. This is a boy, who writes the word "Pain" in his journal and then smashes his palm down on a thumbtack...

Baxter is in heaven with his new master that he thinks is similar to him...until the boy orders him to do something that goes against his grain (did the boy think he was an animal?) and finally disobeys, which was his salvation and his ruin.

Among the many haunting scenes in this movie, is the one scene where the boy is looking out of the same window that Baxter used to look out onto the young couples "paradise", longing to belong to them.

It's sort of circular like The Tenant.
I understand how some people would dislike this movie,but I feel it has redeeming qualities. It didn't spoon feed me pat smug answers.
