The 2022 Top Dog Film Festival presents a two-hour cinematic celebration honouring the bond between dogs and their people.
Filled will delightfully doggy moments of joy and celebration of our beloved canine companions. The event is on for one night only on Wednesday August 24 at 7pm.
Jemima Robinson, Top Dog Film Festival Founder, said the canine-themed films are inspirational, heart-warming and entertaining stories about dogs and their human companions, from independent films makers around the globe.
"Seeing the impact that dogs have on the lives of their owners and those around them never ceases to amaze me.
"While each of the six films in this year's program are very different, the common thread is the incredible impact dogs have on our lives; how they can make us smile, save us from misfortune, provide us with hope and fill our hearts with love."
One of the stories takes us to the 2019 fires on Kangaroo Island when a dog called Bear is called upon to use his special skills to help find the injured wildlife giving them a second chance at life. Another story comes from Tennessee in America and tells the story of Old Friends - a one-of-a-kind dog sanctuary especially for senior dogs, other stories are all about sledding, paddleboarding or even helping out a local mayor.
