It all started with a giant billboard in Kansas City for Jimmy, a dog in The Pet Connection’s Beloit board and train program. News of that billboard spread from coast to coast and soon, TPC was getting dozens of calls from California to Maine from people who saw Jimmy on their local news wanting to give Jimmy a forever home. Well, Jimmy found a wonderful home and TPC got an even bigger surprise – someone wanted to do a documentary about their story.
A University of Kansas film student brought a team of four from Lawrence to TPC to film; they spent three days, from Friday through Sunday, getting footage. They stayed in the apartment on site and turned the whole sanctuary into a film set with all the equipment you’d expect. Many of TPC’s dogs, including Jaz, Bubba, Bronx, Toaster, Amulett, Blue, and cats, including Callie, Faith, Mable, Myrtle, and Fiona were featured.
Stay tuned for the final product, due out toward the end of May!
