⭐️ THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD ⭐️

Today we celebrate JESSIE 🩵 🐾

Our Irish Setter who starred alongside Peter Mullan as his faithful friend - she even got to keep her real name in the movie!

We have fond memories of Peter singing to Jessie on set and calling her his “upstage dog” 🤣….shes a real scene stealer. Jessie fell in love with her on screen owner during filming.

One the first feature films we had the pleasure of working on with lots of animals to talk about & congratulate!

Check out the trailer below!
