Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Cinema screening for dogs

Yes, this is not a play on words – a cinema in Suffolk will be allowing dog owners to take their furry friends into the special preview screening of the latest Disney film Bolt.

The dogs will even have their own pic n mix, and owners are being provided with a doggy poop bag, just in case the dogs get too excited at their first venture into the cinema.  Tickets are being priced at just 95p.  I’m always saying there are not enough places to take your dog and if this event was close enough, I’d be taking my shih tzu.  I’m not sure it would be good in the long term though as I think it might ruin the film and my popcorn if every now and then I caught a whiff of a smelly dog or its poop!

Leiston Cinema in Suffolk says that this strange event is the ideal way for them to celebrate their 95th anniversary.

Wayne Burns, manager of the film theatre, said: ”All dogs must be kept on a short lead and accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over and cats are most certainly not permitted to see the film.”

The screening is 11.30am February 8th, and the official launch of Bolt is on February 13th.
