‘Hudson & Rex’: Canine Actor Challenges us to Look at Animal Labor
 |
 |
My favourite police officer on television is smart, empathetic, attentive and brave. He’s also incredibly handsome.
I’m talking about Rex, the fictional police canine played by the German shepherd Diesel vom Burgimwald who co-stars on CITY TV’s hit show Hudson & Rex. It’s not prestige TV, but it is a well-made, diverse, thoughtful and unapologetically Canadian police procedural with an impressive four-legged officer.
As the show wraps up its second season, it’s clear that Rex/Diesel has charmed audiences. His work also invites us to think more about animals’ minds, work and contributions to our shared communities.
