Movies are a great way to relax at home during the best of times, and can be a fun distraction during the worst of times, for instance during a global pandemic. While most streaming services have a near inexhaustible trove of content, sometimes it can be a pain to sift through. It’s also tough if you’ve got more than one paw trying to control the remote. Maybe you’re gorging on reality TV like the new “Tiger King” and your pup is more interested in the psychological Science Fiction thriller series “Black Mirror.” At any rate, it’s worth finding some common ground, something that you and your pup can enjoy together.
