Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the alluringly cute female dog and object of Boss’s affection in the 2018 hit film Isle of Dogs. Nutmeg has the intelligence and sexiness that keeps loyal Boss’s mind happily distracted when he’s not dealing with the nonsense other dogs on the scrap island. Nutmeg inspires Boss’s natural strong silent personality to ultimately go beyond his comfort zone to save the dog population. Confident whilst also shy, Nutmeg is supported by Boss through thick and thin. Allegorically Nutmeg represents Jen to Boss’s Ian and mirrors their adventures in the Year of the Dog and links to the football move whereby magic of one drives the other to follow.

With one minor glance and a couple of careful words, Nutmeg loves to let Boss’s imagination run wild, knowing that he’ll want her more and more, and that she too can confidently be safe by his side.
