Does Werner Herzog Have Any Pets?

Dogs Are Not Cute (Dog)

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:
