The Dogs (French: Les Chiens) is a 1979 French drama film directed by Alain Jessua. It was entered into the 11th Moscow International Film Festival.[2] A young doctor, Doctor Henri Ferret, has just moved to the Paris region. Many of his patients consult after being bitten. He learns that, to protect themselves from nocturnal attacks, the inhabitants have bought guard dogs ... Morel, who trains the dogs, as well as some inhabitants, have an excessive love for these animals, whereas these sometimes show themselves dangerous and unpredictable, especially when a dog kills for no reason.
