When The Plague Dogs was released on VHS, unless you were in Australia, there was no way to get your hands on a full 103-minute copy. Yes, this story is heavy on animal suffering and will make you want to hug your pets. But Snitter hopes that the two will find a good home and continues to preach about the nice humans there are in the world, just like his former master.
Rowf has no faith in humanity, having never had a loving home before being taken to the facility. Meanwhile, the facility is forced to track down the dogs due to the possibility that they were exposed to the bubonic plague. The Plague Dogs follows these two dogs as they break out of the research facility and try to live as wild animals. The other dog, Snitter the Fox Terrier ( John Hurt), was subjected to various brain experiments that left him hallucinogenic for much of the film. This is the introduction to one of our two main characters, Rowf the dog (Christopher Benjamin).
When it stops struggling, it is fished out and brought back to life. The book and film both open with a very upsetting sequence, in which a large black dog is kept in a chamber of water until it nearly drowns.
