I think it's rather funny that people complained about the stupidty of this particular video - yet we all know they are here looking for movies about dogs in human clothes!

This is a great resource if you're interested in the early works of Wegman and know what you're getting into. They are very raw, very lo-fi but oddly creative and important if you're interested in the development of this artists career. If you're curious, do some research first. If you're just looking for movies about dogs in human clothes, don't go for the early stuff.

My daughter, who was 11 at the time, and I were wandering around the Modern Art Museum in Paris and walked past a video screen where "Dog Duet" was playing. We stopped and were sucked in. We laughed until tears ran down our cheeks. The art is not in the production values; it's in the dislocation of your intelligence onto a new track, neurons skipping across their well worn dog-human paths into something strange and familiar at the same time.

This is a humorous group of very odd little films, showing a lot of the real Wegmen, I think.
It tickled the fancy of the least humorous person I know.
If you like Wegmen's dog photos, and are looking at this item only for it's dog baseball content, this isn't for you.
I suggest this to those of you with a very open minded sense of humor. Everyone else, stick to the black and chocolate lab photos.

These are some of the most original character sketches I have ever seen. Very entertaining and funny, if you're in the right mood and mindset for it. Very puzzling if you're expecting "Everybody Loves Raymond" type comedy...

Funny...and extremely inspirational to boot!!!

This video has about three minutes of "Dog Baseball" and the rest is a bunch of very lo-res mini films. Wegman tries to be witty and give a new take on everyday events and processes. His wit fails him, and the events are rather dull. If you like his popular works of dog photos, or films that don't make you sea sick, don't bother.

This is nothing more than a home movie, and a poor one at that. My dog could have made a better video. This was expensive, and a piece of cr_p. Shouldn't even be for sale. Wegman should be ashamed for even selling it. I wish I could return mine. This is the first time I have been disappointed with a purchase from Amazon.
