While the popular theatre festival often attracts a variety of different people from across Canada, this particular audience was definitely a little fluffier than most…and the photos are so, so heartwarming. The pictures shared on social media all show a group of doggos sat comfortably in their theatre seats, waiting patiently for the production of Billy Elliot to begin.
If this was not adorable enough already, it turns out the dogs in the photo are all service-dogs-in-training and are in the process of learning how to navigate different and unusual spaces- theatres included! Good doggos indeed!
According to the spokesperson for the Stratford Festival, Anne Swerdfager, about a dozen dogs attended the performance, all of which were incredibly well behaved.
Swerdfager told CBC News that, just like humans, the puppers even got out of their seats during the intermission, having a snack and stretching their legs before settling down to enjoy the second part of the show. Incredible!
