The Gordy Report
Gordy's been with us a little over a week now and he's really made himself at home (he's at the office with me today and sleeping on my feet).
I had to register for his pet license and was going through his medical file this week. Y'all. I did not like what I found there. Before I delve in, here's the pet tax:
A very good boy.
First of all, the rescue association I got him from messed up some info that had to be resent. They also told us he was 5 and he's actually about to turn 7 (this is not a problem, we love middle-aged and old dogs in this house, but still, misinformation). But the thing I'm the most frustrated with is the fact that he's had some trauma, and while I know some of it, there were some pretty big gaping holes in the information I was given when we took him in.
I won't go too far into it, but his OG owners gave him up to his foster because they were having a baby and couldn't deal with his high-strung nature. Then he was adopted by his former owners. (That's right, we're his 3rd household, 5th if you count both the times he went to a foster.)
What I read in his medical file was a tragedy. His formers had him for less than a year. They dropped his trainer (which he really needed) and took him running 5+ miles a day (which he loved), but also they let him roam off leash on a relative's farm that had animals. Gordy's a herding breed. Without proper training, that is a Bad Idea.
Within a month, he was in the hospital for a foot injury most likely acquired at the farm, that had him limping--a cut on his foot--and then vomiting--most likely infected from animal dung or some other farm junk. (How did he get the cut? They said they didn't know. Which means they either weren't watching him or they DID know and didn't want to say because they should have known better.)
Another month went by and he needed stitches on the cut because the formers didn't take the doctor's advice and went running with him every day, so it tore. Another month went by and they weren't paying enough attention and he chewed those stitches. They took him in for new stitches and something happened at the vet that traumatized him so much they had to sedate him. Upon coming out of sedation, he bit his former on the nose! (Hello, some common sense advice: Don't put your face an animal's face if they're disoriented and in pain!) After that, they took him to the groomer and neglected to tell the groomer about his injury and it got re-opened there. Gordy was too scared and riled to go to the vet so he had to have video vet appointments and the formers were told how to handle it.
Which, of course, involves instructions. Not their strong point apparently.
At this point in, we are 4 months of this dog dealing with a wound on his foot. And then they again don't listen to the doctor and take him out to the farm where he runs off leash and chases a running horse and bites it and then almost bites an 8-year old child. At 5 months, his paw is 90% healed. FIVE MONTHS. FOR WHAT WAS JUST A SIMPLE CUT THAT BECAME A LACERATION.
They then complained that he seemed high-strung and a little snippy with them and got the vet to put him on prozac....before taking him back to the foster a few months later.
Okay. This was all very distressing to read. And I'm angry that the agency didn't detail it. But I'm even angrier at the formers for taking care of him so badly. (There were other things in those records that I could see they weren't keeping up with either.) I mean, I would be cranky too if I spent 5 months with an open wound.
But. His foster is a dog trainer and I can see between looking at the vet reports and the dog that is currently sweetly sleeping at my feet that she has done wonders with him. She actually texts me from time to time to see how he is and gives me good advice to keep his training solid. And I listen, because I can tell she worked hard on him and doesn't want that to go to waste. And since training works to give dogs structure and help them feel secure, I don't want it to lapse either.
He's such a good boy, y'all, and so deserving of love. I'm still in the moony phase where I feel so lucky to have him every time I wake up and see him waiting for me or watch him twitching in his comfy sleep in the sunshine. I'm working on letting go of my anger towards his formers and just letting his past be his past. He's so happy here. And that's all I want for him.

Something I haven’t seen a lot of people talking about in the Nope fandom is how every adult in the audience and on set leaves Jupe to die when the attack starts. This is the pinnacle of exploitation. When Gordy starts attacking everyone flees; nobody thinks about the innocent child trapped on the stage with him as he rampages. So many people made the decision to let this child (who has no idea what to do in this situation; hell most adults wouldn’t know what to do) stay on this set with a raging predator and protect themselves. I know it’s instinct to protect yourself to some degree, but this adds to the idea of spectle and exploiting people/animals for entertainment. Jupe was literally nothing more than an object for them to laugh at; the audience was using him for entertainment, the directors and producers were using him for money. Nobody expected him to come out of that room alive, and the saddest part is nobody cared. Children don’t have the capacity to evaluate the safety of the environment they’re around; they depend on adults to do that. All of those directors and producers and cameramen knew that Gordy could become dangerous someday, but Jupe trusted him implicitly, trusted them that he was safe.
In the end, Gordy reaches out to him. Part of the reason for this is probably because he didn’t make direct eye contact, but I think there’s something symbolic about it too. They were both put in danger on that set, they were both confused and scared and alone, and the people around them were only exploiting them with no care whatsoever for their safety or protection. It makes sense that Jupe would trust an animal more than a person - the people who were supposed to keep him safe failed him.
I feel like this also is super relevant to the way child actors are treated today. Jupe was put in an environment where he was actively exposed to a predator every single day. People put him in this position; he didn’t choose this. He didn’t know the dangers. He was exploited and he was hurt for it, left alone when the predator attacked. I feel like this correlates with all the children who are abused on movie and tv show sets who nobody stands up for when the predators come for them. People knew Gordy was a predator and they let him around Jupe anyway. People know that certain people in the industry are predators, and we let children around them anyway.
This movie gave me a lot of feelings. Feel free to let me know what you think!

Reading the Villains Wiki entry for Nope (2022) characters and just... I think this image has unlimited meme potential:
Also, please go see Nope. It's an amazing film.

One thing I super enjoyed about NOPE (2022) is the unintentional parallel between gordy and jean jacket and how immoral it is to try to domesticate/train/make a show of an animal that clearly cannot be domesticated. Like how travis the chimp and sigfried and roy's lions are not domesticated like a dog or a housecat which then lead to their tragedies because they were still very much wild animals who lineage wise weren't as domesticated as dogs and cats so they act in ways unlike an actual pet does (yes a dog can still maul you, but the chance like is way way lower than say, a lion)

The Gordy Report
Gordy Gordy Goodtime Boy came home on Tuesday and immediately made himself at home.
Good things:
Is smart
Knows and follows many commands
Likes us and follows us around
Likes belly rubs
Does not beg
Is handsome
Tolerates hugs with a wagging tail
Loves people
Is playful and likes fetch
Is gentle when taking treats
Has a nubbin tail
Is either very wiggly or very alert or very chill
Goes fkn bonkers when we come home from work
Really really really enjoys a good sunbeam if he can get it.
Not great things:
Is dog reactive and needs training, but as a middle-age dog, not sure that can be trained away. (This is sad because we have dog times in my office and I have a lot of friends with dogs that may not be able to be friends with him.)
Barks at Roxanne. (Roxanne is our mail carrier and I have a crush on her and I don't want her to not like coming to our house.)
Really, the dog reactive thing is common in aussies and, while it's a bummer, it's nothing we can't work with--and have with past dogs. It's just very pronounced in him. But. Every rescue comes with some kind of issue, and if this is his, I'll take it. In every other way, we are so so lucky to have him.

I like that the fist bump Gordy tries to do with Jupe is left ambiguous.
As in the fists never touch because Gordy is shot, and I believe paired with the sparing of Jupes life THIS is why he believes that he has a ‘Special Connection’ with animals and believes he has an understanding with Jean Jacket.
Fist Bumps and other hand signals like Thumbs Up (that is referenced by Jupe in the film) is something as humans we see as a sign of positive connection of friendship and of understanding however to Gordy this is a symbol of a good job at the action/ trick he has just performed and symbol of probably receiving a reward/ reassurance, the same way when dolphins and seals are trained fish is used as a reward after the animal performs a trick correctly.
After Gordys attack he goes to Jupe for a fist bump however we are left wondering if the fist bump had been successful would this have deterred Gordy and he would’ve seen this as a job well done and left, or if he would’ve attacked Jupe as confirmation that there was a human under the table. However as this doesn’t happen and Gordy gets shot we are left wondering if Gordy would have killed him whereas Jupe sees this as a confirmation that if he had first bumped Gordy, Gordy would have let him live regardless and the act of the first bump was a recognition that Gordy was Jupes ‘friend’. Jupe never wonders if Gordy was looking into confirmation that Jupe was under the table and would have killed him. Nor does he recognise that Gordy might’ve done this as promise of a reward and not out of ‘friendship’.
In addition if Jupe had withheld the first bump and Gordy had not been shot would Gordy have left Jupe? Or due to this withholding of a promised reward would Gordy be upset thinking he had done a bad job and gone after Jupe regardless?
