THE LEGEND OF SPITFIRE
12 minutes
Spitfire is the most famous athlete you've never heard of - a world champion in running and jumping. He’s also a seven-year-old whippet. But what makes Spitfire so special is more than the fact that he has four legs, it’s the powerful bond he has with his trainer, a 15-year-old girl called Sydney. Together they are rewriting the record books of the canine sports world.
PASSING IT ON
7 minutes
In the town of Sisimiut, Greenland, Johanne decides to quit her 9-5 job to spend more time with her sled dogs. She’s now one of the few female full-time hunters in Greenland, living off reindeer hunting and sled dog tourism. Johanne hope that her grandchildren will share her path, but times are changing. Passing It On explores the value of sled dogs to those whose cultural identity is at risk.
THE AVALANCHE DOGS OF BIG SKY RESORT

KEEMA AND HER PACK
10 minutes
Abuse, poverty, racism and homophobia made it difficult for Keema to open her heart – until a chance encounter with a dog she’d initially feared changed the trajectory of her life.

HAPPY HOUNDS
