A Howlin’ Good Night!

Posted by: Dog Diaries on 04 Feb 2011

Now you don’t have to leave your pooch at home when you head out for the evening…

Are you the type of dog owner who likes to take your pooch everywhere? Do you scour for dog-friendly beaches, holiday houses and cafes? If this sounds like you, then you’ll definitely be interested in Ford Fiesta’s Moonlight Cinema, an outdoor event that has a dedicated doggie night, so your four-legged friend can enjoy a trip to the movies as well!

Held in five capital cities around Australia, the Moonlight Cinema runs all summer and offers patrons the opportunity to experience movie-going in the great outdoors.

Once a season, the Moonlight Cinema opens its gates to our canine counterparts, and creates a special dog-friendly environment (no chocolate or macadamia nuts allowed on the premises!) for everyone to enjoy.

The Sydney dog-friendly night was held on Sunday 16 January – and it was certainly a sight to behold. Over 100 dogs were in attendance and they ranged from tiny teacup Chihuahuas to German Shepherds and Great Danes. The environment was friendly, hyper and at times hilarious, especially when a dog would bark on screen and send up a chorus of responses from the furry crowd.


While dogs had to be kept on a short leash for safety reasons, it didn’t stop a lot of tail-wagging and acquaintance-making. And whether you left on two legs or four (or three, as was the case for one German Shepherd – don’t worry, he arrived with only three), a good night was had by all.

While this year’s dog night might already have happened in your city, make sure you get along to it next year – and any other dog-friendly events your city hosts, in order to support a friendlier environment for you and you pooch!
