Does Werner Herzog Have Any Pets?

Dogs Are Not Cute

The famous Grizzly Man director, Werner Herzog, does not have any reported pets in all his years as a director. He went as far to say he has never met a dog that he finds “Cute”. That’s not to say he isn’t a fan of them. The blunt director responded:

Have you ever seen a dog and thought, That’s a cute dog? “No. I would assign a dog a different word.”, says Werner.
