James Gunn's ‘Superman' spurs dog adoption interest as Krypto steals hearts
The success of Supermanhas resulted in a surge of dog adoption interest. According to Variety, the Man of Steel's dog, called Krypto, has become as popular as the titular character, essayed by David Corenswet. In the James Gunn directorial, Krypto assists Superman during his battles. People are impressed by the loyal dog, so much so that they are planning to adopt puppies like him. Reacting to the development, Gunn took to Instagram to express his happiness. 'This film has been a barrage of blessings for me: this one may be the greatest. Ozu has no idea any of this is happening but, if he did, he'd be proud.,' he wrote. As perdog training app Woofz, Google searches for 'adopt a dog near me' jumped up 513% after the opening weekend of Superman, while the more specific 'rescue dog adoption near me' rose by 163%,' reported Variety. The App has also found that users are searching Krypto's breed — a mix of Terrier mutt and a Schnauzer — specifically. Gunn created Krypto based on his rescue dog Ozu. The director imagined the idea of his dog having superpower when he struggled to train his pup. Krypto is a fully CGI-generated dog in Superman.

The Hindu review of the movie said, 'With thrilling action, wild science (give me a pocket universe to disappear into), eye-popping sets, humour and heart, DCU's Superman is everything you would ask of a holiday movie.' Soon after the release of the movie, the Indian audience was upset that crucial scenes were altered by the CBFC. Among the scenes that are cut in the Indian version, the most talked about one has been the 33-second floating kiss between Clark Kent (Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan).

The Sunday Poem, by Anna Jackson
I brought home three young hens I named Maude, Mabel, and Goldie, and put them in the small hen-house inside the larger coop, where Wilma could talk to them through the wire without threatening them, but she showed no interest in them at all, preferring to follow me back out into the garden. Maude began at once to assert herself as the dominant hen of the three little ones, issuing random reprimands to the other two. I thought, when I watch birds all I am seeing is birds, not particular birds with personalities. I can tell the difference between a tui and a blackbird but not between one blackbird and another, and I can't tell anything about a particular bird's personality by watching it. Yet when I think of how individual every hen is, it must be true that each blackbird has a quite distinct personality, quite unlike any other blackbird. As the hens became more of a flock, Wilma took her place as the dominant hen in the coop, asserting herself in a way she never had before, in a way that made personality seem not innate but entirely situational. But the three little hens clearly had very different personalities even though they were brought into the coop at the same time, under the same conditions. Maude already seemed to relate to me person to person, friend to friend, looking me in the eye, talking to me, and liking to be close to my side, even though she was not yet the lead hen of the coop. Perhaps she thought Wilma was too far above her to count. I read that birds dream about songs in their sleep, rats dream about running, and I wondered if my hens ever dreamt of me.
