White Dog is a 1982 drama film directed by Samuel Fuller. The movie revolves around a young actress named Julie who finds a white dog on the side of the road. She takes the dog to the vet and decides to keep it after no one claims it. However, she soon discovers that the dog has been trained to attack and kill black people.
Convinced that the dog can be rehabilitated, Julie seeks the help of a professional animal trainer named Keys. Together, they attempt to retrain the dog, but discover that the dog's original owner, a white supremacist group, has been trying to retrieve the animal. The group believes that the dog is a valuable asset in their fight against black people, and they want to use it as a weapon.
As Keys becomes more involved in the retraining process, he begins to realize that the dog's aggression towards black people is deeply ingrained and may be impossible to change. Meanwhile, Julie struggles to come to terms with her own biases and prejudices.
The movie explores themes of racism, animal behavior, and the limits of retraining. Despite controversy surrounding the movie's initial release, White Dog has been praised for its honest and nuanced portrayal of a difficult subject matter.
