But if you want your dog to get the most out of their massage? Sharon Williams, a pet behavioralist and co-founder of DogDesires, tells Inverse, “Anxiety often causes muscles to tense up and just the same way that any human would be left feeling relaxed after a massage, a dog would too!” She continues, “You can start at your dog's neck working your way down with long strokes. It’s made from tough ABS plastic, and there are even magnets on the back so that you can stick it right to your fridge.

Campion wins top Hollywood director prize for 'Power of the Dog' (FRANCE 24)

Jane Campion hailed the shattering of Hollywood's glass ceiling as her movie "The Power of the Dog" was named the year's best film by her fellow directors ...

"It was terrifying, and I gave up a whole bunch of times. And every single time I said 'this is just too dangerous,'" the legendary director of "Jaws," "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park" said. "I think it is one of the real reasons that I am standing here and that ultimately, I got brave enough to say what I wanted," said Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal -- until now primarily known as an actress in films such as "The Dark Knight" and "Secretary" -- said watching Campion's "The Piano" as a teen had "changed my life" and sparked a desire to one day direct. Campion, who was first nominated in 1994 for "The Piano," earlier in the night reflected on a time when she was frequently "the only woman in the room." Campion is the third woman to ever win the top Directors Guild of America prize, after Kathryn Bigelow for 2008's "The Hurt Locker," and Chloe Zhao last year for "Nomadland."

Sam Elliott's 'The Power of The Dog' Opinions Proves the Film's Point (Collider.com)

Why doesn't Sam Elliott understand that there have always been gay cowboys? Sam-Elliott-The-Power-of-The-Dog.

And both had to deal with criticism from notable actors as to the combination of the Western genre and homosexuality. He wrote most of his work within the Western oeuvre, and he used these writings to explore his own sexuality and the repressive nature of the Montana he grew up in. Elliot’s comments are the kind of bigoted, denying comments that lead to the erasure of homosexuality in history. Phil had an important mentor in the unseen Bronco Henry, and the film implies that there was an element of homosexuality in Phil and Henry’s relationship. Elliott’s comments about the “allusions of homosexuality” are correct in that the film suggests that both Phil and Peter are gay. While roundly criticized for these regressive comments, as well as other ridiculous comments about where the film was shot and how much director Jane Campion actually knows about the American West, Elliott accidentally proved the film’s central theme as to how gay people are often erased entirely from the mythos of the Old West.
