Independent | LA’s first Dog Film Festival features howl-out-loud comedies and ruff, tough true stories

by Tim Walker

The event is sponsored by the Petco Foundation and 50 per cent of ticket sales go to animal welfare organizations.

This weekend, the city that’s home to both the American movie industry and Cesar Millan’s Dog Psychology Centre is melding movies and mutts for the first ever Los Angeles Dog Film Festival. On 5 June, dogs and their owners can attend two programs of dog-based short films at the Crest Theatre in Westwood, which, according to the festival’s website, “illuminate ways that dogs and people touch each others’ lives.”
