What’s it like to share your home with a 200-pound house pig or a world-famous Instagram “cat influencer?” My Pet and Me, an endearing and comical portrait of the bond between humans and the animals they love, Johan Kramer’s documentary introduces audiences to a handful of individuals who’ve dedicated their lives to their colorful companions.
Often absurdist, objectively cute, and unfailingly heartwarming, viewers will spend time with a unique group of individuals and their animal counterparts, including Frans, a not-so-small house pig who keeps on jumping in and out of a trunk to find a nice place to walk, a hairdresser with a house full of hairless cats, a competition dog dancing champion, a giant spiritual snail, and a therapeutic pug, amongst others. Featuring characters that can at times appear as though they’re out of central casting of classic mockumentary Best in Show, these owners’ deep relationships with their pets begs the question – who exactly needs who more?
