Sadly Cujo's only biggest mistake was
chasing after the rabbit that
was minding it's own business
in the first place
.
Of course there would be no movie
if it didn't start out that way I guess ?
.
Still sad Cujo contracted rabies in the first place
and agree neglectful owners did not help Cujo's
situation either
.
Thanks Karnivore for your subject post

I don't understand why people say "Poor Cujo" for. Cujo was the attacker, the lady and kid were defenders. What are they supposed to do just sit there and be attacked? How stupid is that? Pretty darn stupid, and how would the movie be good that way?
No more IMDB boards for me!

I felt so bad for him the entire movie. I never viewed him as a monster, but as a victim. I was so glad when his stupid owner died because was the real villain. He should have been properly vaccinated and taken to the vet when he had an oozing and obviously infected sore on his nose.
~The internet? Is that thing still around?~

I also felt bad for Cujo and I'm sure it was uncomfortable for him having to deal with all the pain he was experiencing and that they didn't take the dog in to the vet.

Watching it right now and I definitely feel bad for the dog. Such a terrible thing to happen to something so innocent.
Remember the magic words: "Please", "Thank you" and "Step off bitch!"

Cujo's gone where the good dogs go.

I felt more sorry for Cujo than anything else in the film. It just didn't work for me as a dog lover. Better he would've been possessed by a Satanic force or something. All I could do was to think of how sick he was and how he suffered, through no fault of his own. And why didn't the stupid owner have him vaccinated for rabies!!!! Poor Cujo.

UPDATE I just finished it last night, HEART BREAKING! Had a good cry over that one! Great book though!

I am so glad I'm not the only one who feels so sorry for Cujo every time I watch the movie. It's his owner's fault for not getting him vaccinated properly. After reading this thread, I'm not sure I want to read the book It really sounds sad.
I'm reaching for the life within me. How can one man stop his ending.

I agree! Poor Cujo! I haven't read the book, now I don't know if I will as it sounds downright depressing, but maybe someday. The whole film I was thinking poor Cujo, it's not his fault!

I almost teared up when Cujo got on the hood of the car, staring in through the windshield. He had a look of "Why is this happening to me?"

The ending tears me up too. The quote that you wrote along with
"He had never wanted to kill anybody. He had been struck by something, possibly destiny, or fate, or only a degenerative nerve disease called rabies. Free will was not a factor.

The ending of the book tears me up every time.
spoilers ahead
It states that Cujo always wanted to be a good dog, that he never wanted to hurt anyone. He tried to do everything The Man and The Boy told him to do.
"He would have died for them, had that been required."
That last quote makes me cry every time.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

I felt sorry for Cujo as well. He wouldn't have ever even thought of attacking someone unless he were sick. It wasn't his fault. He couldn't help it.
Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

I always thought I was the only person who felt that way! I've read the book a few times and every time I feel more sorry for the dog than anyone else except the kid because he too was just a victim of circumstance.

well peeps shoud NOT do such ok that is vry BAD 2 hurt on such?????

I felt sorry for Cujo as well. He was just a poor dog inflicted with Rabies. That would turn any animal mad and deranged, including humans.

I know. I actually felt sorry for Cujo in throughout the entire book and movie, because Cujo was a good dog. What happened to him wasn't his fault, either. He was in pain the whole time he was attacking people.
To me this story was more sad than scary.

not cool!

You get some of what Cujo is "thinking". He hates the way he feels and thinks that the people he attacks are the ones that made him sick.

Because King keeps referring to Cujo as "Brett Camber's Good Dog."
