It's an energetic live literary performance series which features the personal, true dog stories of everyday people, writers and performers. Our team is working each and every day to bring you a great event in 2025. Contact us to learn more about how you can help.

A committment to excellence

Our goal is to celebrate and promote great films that include a dog in the story. Some of the most life affirming films ever made have referenced a dog.  Our film competition will return in 2025 and will include short and feature films.
