I'll definitely have to rewatch to find out. I've seen the movie version, years back, and for the most part, remembered the plot. There's just a touch of supernatural within the pages, and it could be argued there's none at all. This book was likely the least supernatural King book I read. When Very Good Boy Cujo chases a rabbit down a hole, his life changes for the worst, and the town along with it. Now there's a different monster in town, one that used to be so innocent. Not to mention it wasn't very long ago a police officer was found guilty of the brutal murder of multiple women and girls in the town. There's infidelity, a downturn in business, toxic masculinity, emotional abuse, a monster in the closet. There's a lot of bad luck going 'round the small town of Castle Rock. There's a reason this book is a classic - it's haunting, terrifying, and outright sickening. Even not having read the book or seen the film, most people would likely associate the name Cujo with a horrible monster of a dog. Stephen King's Cujo is a classic in terms of horror.
