"LIFE IN THE DOGHOUSE," directed by Ron Davis, the award-winning filmmaker of The New York Times Critic's pick and 2016 box-office hit, Harry & Snowman, tells the inspiring life stories of two men, Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta, and the selfless work they continue to do with their Danny & Ron’s Rescue. With a no-kennel policy, there can be as many as 75 dogs living with them in their home at any given time; the dogs also join them on the horse show circuit on their journey of finding their "forever home." Danny and Ron were honored with the 2008 ASPCA Humanitarian Award for their unwavering personal sacrifice and unique approach to dog rescue & adoption during hurricane Katrina.

Ten years and almost 10,000 dogs later, Danny & Ron's Rescue has become the voice for abused, abandoned and starving dogs. Their story captures hearts, entertains, educates and will inspire millions to make the right choices when it comes to man's best friend. www.lifeinthedoghousemovie.com
