By now, most of you are familiar with the tale of former assassin, John Wick. Back in 2014, the Keanu-ssance began when Keanu Reeves stepped into the titular role as John Wick, a man who was forced to reclaim his former life of violence to deal out some epic revenge on the criminals who stole his car and killed his dog. But what if the crooks had taken out John instead? In that case, the instrument of vengeance would be…Dog Wick.
RocketJump has posted a new comedic short film that takes place in a reality where John was the one who was fatally wounded in the robbery. In the face of such a tragedy, what’s a good boy to do? Why, clearly a swift and violent rampage is the way to go! Much like his former master, Dog Wick seems to favor head shots, and it’s pretty hilarious to see him walking around with a gun in his mouth. He couldn’t use his paws, because that would be ridiculous.
Is this really any more far-fetched than John Wick‘s secret subculture of assassins and killers? In that world, Dog Wick would practically be a Disney movie. There’s even a few shades of Air Bud when a pair of cops determine that there is no law against dogs shooting people. Technically, this is true. But even if it wasn’t, Dog Wick is above the law!
