If you read up on it online, it gives it a lot more praise than it deserves. Scale of 1-10...a 5.
If you like the zombie genre, as you must, you are in this thread, then yes, if it's a buck for a rental,
sure watch it. It is not a bad movie. Just the setting itself is interesting. However, I was constantly
wondering, "Where are the animals?" There are two animals in the movie, both chickens. You see
the protag. walking around and you think, that MF better watch out or a leopard is gonna get him.
And you know that animals are faster than zombies, so surely they are SOMEWHERE. But not a
one. Maybe putting animals in a movie like this would have cost too much.

This is one of my main, easily rectifiable, qualms of the Walking Dead. A pack of dogs would be invaluable to a group. Even if it was just ankle-bitter dogs they would allow the group to sleep in peace as it would growl at the sound of a twig breaking while a dog of any size could easily take down a slow moseying walker. In the long run, I'd definitely take my rottweiler over a pistol. More stealth, doesn't need ammo, and can protect ya while u sleep. Hopefully in upcoming episodes/seasons they'll add in this dynamic, I could definitely see Darrel with a pitbull sidekick

Was thinking about this, but wouldn't the dog by bitting them infect himself?

If not I would take my Weimeraner over anyone in the group to stand gaurd at night.

They haven't alluded in the show whether animals get infected or not. The group hasn't ran across any and I don't remember any zombie movies where animals can get infected. In most movies a human can get infected if the animal has zombie blood on it and the blood gets into the human's bloodstream. Like in 28 Days later when the guy gets in infected from the crow dropping blood in his eye
