Rochester
Rochester is portrayed by the handsome 8 year old dachshund (also named Rochester, after the character from The Jack Benny Program).
This short film was contrived from a feature screenplay in which Rochester, the main character, maneuvers his way through the shelter and foster system in search of his human Dad after he was dognapped. We hope this success of this short film will enable us to the see the feature screenplay (with Rochester & Henry) on the Silver Screen.
He loves traveling, playing with his soft plush toys and especially eating! He is learning to enjoy his current low fat diet. He currently lives in New York City with his humans, one of which is the writer/director/producer and the other portrays the Dad.

Duffy
Duffy has a "non speaking" supporting role in the short, however, he was very influential in shooting our fundraising campaign video for Indiegogo, for which we are all eternally grateful for his magnanimous support.
Duffy enjoys helping out with chores around the house, especially laundry, relaxing in the park, provided there are no skateboarders around and strolls along the pier.
Although he has appeared in previous shorts, he anticipates a career change to behind the camera and is planning to relocate to Chicago.

Kino
Kino portrays the snobbish dog (eh, hmm, is that uncharacteristic of a Shiba Inu?) in the dog park, a small but pivotal role, at least that's what we told him in order for him to agree to let us use his likeness on film.
Kino enjoys being left to his own accord. When he wants your attention or approval, he will let you know. Kino enjoys lounging about his studio apartment and letting the humans dote on him at his leisure.

Esmeralda
Esmeralda, named after the gypsy seductress of The Hunchbank of Notre Dame, plays the small, yet feisty Rosalind in our short film. Unlike her namesake, she is not one to bring water to the poor or helpless.
Esmeralda has been enchanting audiences for years with her indoor hunting escapades and stuffed toy savagery. Now she is eager to play a sassy counterpart to her onscreen and off screen brother.
