Chew Fox, Boomer the Dog and other ‘Fursonas’ Featured in New Doc There are lot of interesting ways that people like to spend their free time, from bodybuilding together to reenacting the Civil War together to playing fantasy sports. Then there are furries, a particular kind of fandom subculture that involves dressing up like anthropomorphized animals. The new documentary Fursonas , directed by first-time filmmaker Dominic Rodriguez, takes a closer look at the furry subculture and spends some quality time with Bandit, Chew Fox, Boomer the Dog and other furries.
