Pound, released in 1970, is a unique and remarkable film directed by Robert Downey Sr. The movie is a satirical examination of the life in a dog pound, where dogs, played by human actors, await their fate -- either adoption or euthanasia.
The story-less exploits of a group of people who are actually dogs ( and a cat and a penguin) in a dog pound waiting to be adopted or put down; all loosely framed by a documentation of the seemingly unconnected "honky killer": a serial sniper.
