Ten Movie Tough Guys And The Dogs They Love
Because even the most hardened of killers needs a best friend.
Dr Robert Neville (Will Smith) in I Am Legend (2007)
Robert’s German Shepherd Samantha (‘Sam’) was his family pet. Now, man’s best friend is literally man’s only friend in a Manhattan abandoned to vampiric mutants. But dogs don’t tend to fare well in post-apocalyptic movies, so when loyal Sam saves her master from a pack of infected dogs… of course she gets infected herself, forcing Robert to put her down. Jeez, has someone been chopping onions in here?
