Filmmakers Ian & Dominic Higgins with guest appearance of Fleur & her owners

As you might have gathered, my two favourite things are dogs and films. (Jaffa cakes (the posh ones) close third.)

So, I was very delighted to talk to to the very talented Dominic and Ian Higgins. Do check out their spectacular back catalogue - they run Pixel Revolution Films and they are attracting lot of attention at international film festivals - a cutting edge mix of reality and art.

This was recorded on the day of the premiere of their new animated short film Of Wolves and Men.  You will love it, I promise you. And lovely Peter Egan did the voice over. Their next film will be Fleur, the beautiful little collie cross who has graced our magazine covers twice - a doggie Kate Moss.

She had been very badly mutilated in Romania. Gov-sponsored canine genocide had seen the streets cleared of dogs and them being 'spayed' by people who definitely weren't vets. Fleur hadn't been properly stitched back up and her insides were falling out when the photos did the rounds on Facebook. It's an epic story of a dog refusing to die and never giving up trust in humans despite barbaric treatment.

Well guess what, we helped Wendy and Andrew get Fleur's story published as a book. And guess who saw the front cover on Amazon and fell in love.... well only the Higgins' brothers from Pixel Revolution!
