In a Lonely Place, Saved by Puppies

Suzanne Tenner/Paramount Vantage

Molly Shannon stars in "Year of the Dog," Mike White’s film about empathy and grace.

In its broad outline, “Year of the Dog” is the story of a woman who goes slightly bonkers and becomes an animal-rights advocate, not because she’s bonkers, but because the love of animals is where she finally finds her peace of mind, sense of self, grace. It’s also about the creation of conscience, about what makes us human and why, a surprisingly little-told story in contemporary American cinema.
