MUMBAI: Actress Amanda Seyfried says dogs make great characters on screen because of their playfulness and curiosity.

"It's a dog, it's their smell, their wide-eyed innocence, their playfulness, and their curiosity. They just want to love you and live in the present and we could all learn that. That's a big giant challenge for us humans to live in the present and they just do it naturally and it's a beautiful thing to watch," Seyfried said while talking about why dogs make for great characters.
