[7] On 1 March 2022, cast and crew members from DOG HOUSE reunited online,[8] their first public appearance together in over three decades, to raise money for Literacy Central Vancouver Island.
During the event, participants discussed the unknown whereabouts of original cast member Jonathan Shapiro, the series' only leading actor besides the deceased Bodie (who played the talking dog, and the 'voice of Digby', the late Bruce Johnson), not to attend.
The reunion was precipitated by extensive media coverage, including interviews with DOG HOUSE star Valentina Cardinalli and event organizer Mark Kleiner on CBC Saskatchewan Weekend with Shauna Powers[11] on 27 February 2022, and with Kleiner on CTV News Saskatoon with Jeff Rogstad on 28 Feb 2022.
