Secret Life of the Human Pups
Secret Life Of The Human Pups introduces us to a previously unseen subculture of ordinary people who lead extraordinary double lives, dressing up in elaborate dog suits that cost thousands of pounds as they strive to become their very own pet.
Human puppy play has become a global phenomenon in recent years but what makes these grown men and women covet doggy treats, belly rubs and squeaky toys? And why has it risen in popularity?
From Crufts-style competitions to obedience training and finding a handler, being a human pup is just like being a dog, but fearing scorn and ridicule most have kept their alter egos a secret… until now.
Getting under the skin of this weird and wonderful world, the Secret Life of the Human Pups explores what it takes to become a human pup, the impact it has on friends and loved ones and why, for some people, it has become a way of life.
With unprecedented access, Guy Simmonds’ directorial debut explores a previously unseen side of life full of humour, drama and intrigue.
