Paws for Applause: ‘I Am a Rescue Dog’ Movie Screening and Exclusive Pochipapa Autograph Session Coming to Osaka

This film is a documentary that introduces the animal welfare activities of shelter dogs (cats) across the country and the relationship between humans and shelter dogs in society, and promotes the positive relationship between shelter dogs (cats) and humans. It was created with the aim of depicting the strong bonds between them.

This story is completely different from the tragic images of rescued dogs that we have seen so far, and the story is viewed from a positive, forward-looking, future-oriented perspective, without being difficult or painful.

Whether you are interested in animal welfare or not, please take a look.

Feedback from everyone who has seen the movie

Yuri-san

Tears flowed. I felt so much love that my heart became warm.

We showered our dogs and cats with love, and we really felt that they received the same, if not even more, love from us. And I wanted all the rescued dogs and cats to be happy. I hope that as many people as possible will watch this movie and think about how we interact with animals.

Mr. Bow Wow

Shohei Hino’s narration of me was very impressive. I’m sure that dogs wish they could speak with humans too… I was also deeply moved by the thoughts of people involved with rescue dogs from various standpoints. I want many people to see it.

Erin-san

Since I have adopted a rescue dog myself, I thought I knew a lot about foster homes and rescue organizations, but I was surprised to find out that there are so many people involved with rescue dogs in so many different ways. Even though it must have been a very difficult situation, everyone’s faces were bright and it warmed my heart to see them. I would like children in particular to know this fact, so I would like to have it screened at schools.

Mr. T&M

Thank you for delivering such a wonderful movie.

Neither the dogs nor the people act, and while conveying the truth without pretense, it is a movie that leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart rather than a sense of sadness. Each of them has themselves helped by a dog. Lastly, I want to help dogs, but there is a limit to what I can do, so I would like everyone to join us in expanding our ideas.
