Woof! Attend a Special Pup-Friendly Screening of Isle of Dogs

The Czech Republic is a nation of dog lovers; unsurprisingly, dogs—often adorably sweater-clad and tiny—are typically welcome in pubs and restaurants especially those with outdoor seating areas, where normally unsmiling waiters will cheerfully bring them a bowl of water.

If you are a new-to-Prague dog owner you may not know that dogs are also welcome at some cinemas; so much so that in past years the Aero group of cinemas has even hosted a special festival for dogs.

“In our cinema, along with a handful of others throughout the republic, you can accompany your dog all year round. We are dog-friendly. This means that if the dog does not disturb other viewers during the screening, we do not have the slightest problem with his presence in the hall,” says David Beranek, director of Prague’s Bio Oko.

What if they have to, erm you know? Says Jakub Fürst, Aerofilms spokesperson:

“Sometimes the owners need to go out because of this. But the number of small puddles is almost zero in many years. I have to say that dog owners who visit our cinemas are pretty amazing people and their dogs really know how to behave during screening.”

While not all cultures are as passionate about dogs as the Czech Republic, cinemas around the world are inviting dog lovers to bring their pets to special screenings of the film including movie theaters in LA, NYC, and London.
