I was also struck by Jesse's seeming ignorance. But then Google tells me that the movie came out in 1983 and Jesse is only about 40. So I'll give him a pass.

I’m 27 and I know Cujo just as a cultural reference, even though I’ve never read or seen it. I detected more than a hint of feigned ignorance in Jesse’s tone.
