The first scene after he starts showing aggressive behavior. He growls and shows his teeth at the kid but then he starts crying and walks away. Does Cujo only attack people he doesn't like or people he doesn't know?

I felt this was Cujo's last sense of compassion in the movie. He loves that kid and knows it would be wrong to kill him so he is battling with the good and evil aspect at that point before finally letting the good one win, for the last time in that movie.

it is explained in the book how Cujo is almost gone by the time Brett calls him and he recognizes his voices as the BOY who takes care of him and that is reflected in the movie sicne Cujo is ready to attack and growling until the boy speaks which is when the dog retreats.
