Cujo never once tried to attack Ted or his owner!


Why is that?!?!

Ted steps out the car to pee, Cujo sees this and lies there and does nothing!
But when Donna steps out, he attacks her!

He growls at his owner, the older kid, but does nothing to him, just walks away when he calls him.

Tad might not have been attacked due to rabies making Cujo unpredictable. Concerning his owner, Cujo was in the beginning stages of rabies. If you have read the book, the narrator has this part as if Cujo was thinking and being in a confused state in which he wanted to kill his owner due to the disease, but also remembering how much loyalty and love he had for his owner. He then runs away.

Ya or TAD either

It's pretty clear to me that the disease hasn't progressed far enough to make him a full-on killer when he sees Brett. It's another day at least before he starts attacking people.
