One of Lax’s most personal works, A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG, PART ONE explores animal husbandry from the perspective of a quadruplet raised in a dog breeding family. Incorporating original footage and family archive, the film analyses canine behaviour, humans playing as dogs through kink, and his own identity.
