Bring Back the Whistle Dog
(Pacific Assistance Dogs Society Fundraiser)

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll drool. AND you’ll help raise money for a great cause!

Fast food menu items come and go, but none have ignited lasting passion quite like A&W’s Whistle Dog. Selected at 42 film festivals in 15 countries worldwide, this award-winning “hot dogumentary” short film profiles diehard fans fighting the good fight to bring back the iconic dog.
