Two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, struggle to survive in the countryside after escaping from an animal research laboratory. They are pursued by search parties and then the military after rumors spread that they could be carrying the bubonic plague.
Editor's Verdict
"The Plague Dogs is a serious drama/thriller focused on animal escape and survival, involving themes of scientific cruelty and public fear. There are no discernible elements of Christmas present in the setting, plot, or themes."
