My favourite dogs I saw in films this year. For clarity’s sake, this includes any animals, even if featured only for a moment, real or fake.

Sight and Sound has published its annual poll of the year's most notable video essays.
@queline.bsky.social , @willwebbful.bsky.social, and @cydniiwilde.bsky.social tallied a total of 183 videos. Better start now if you plan to watch them all before the year ends. Or skip Christmas dinner.
