Palm Dog Award
The Palm Dog Award is a yearly award presented by the international film critics during the Cannes Film Festival.
Begun in 2001 by Toby Rose, it is awarded to the best performance by a canine (live or animated) or group of canines. The award consists of a leather dog collar with the term "PALM DOG". The name of the award is a play on words of the Palme d'Or, the festival's highest honor.
