A dog named Hero is playing a hero dog in a new movie from Paramount arriving on premium video on demand and for digital purchase on Oct 16.

Hero, an Australian Kelpie, plays the role of Boy in Love and Monsters, an action-adventure movie also starring Dylan O’Brien as Joel Dawson — a young man who survives the Monsterpocalypse and decides to leave the safety of his underground colony to journey through a dangerous, creature-infested world to reunite with his high school sweetheart. While on this daring quest, Joel meets Boy, a dog who is also trying to survive on his own, and they join forces to keep each other safe.

Love And Monsters Story

Love and Monsters — part action-adventure, part coming-of-age story, part wide-eyed teen romance, with a small dose of found-family love — is certainly different from the majority of other films in its class. It’s more earnest than Zombieland, but less focused on a quirky love story than, say, Warm Bodies.
