Stetson, Street Dog of Park City

Stetson, Street Dog of Park City is a short film released in 2012 and adapted from the children's book written by Jeanine Heil.

A portion of the film's proceeds are donated to Second Chance for Homeless Pets in Salt Lake City, Utah, which served as a halfway house for Stetson's permanent adoption.

[2] A small terrier with aggressiveness issues, who had been rescued from the streets of Park City, was chosen to play the part of Stetson.

Stetson finds himself alone on the streets of the winter ski town, Park City, Utah, in search of food, shelter and a new home.

Because he is small, Stetson has to avoid people and ski boots, walking the freshly shoveled paths through the snow.

As Stetson trots down Main Street and past Dolly's Bookstore, the smell of freshly cooked bacon leads him to the Morning Ray Cafe.

Stetson continues on to Love Your Pet Bakery, which is owned by three giant Newfoundland dogs, Ferguson, Apollo and Atlas.

The lady at the counter gives Stetson a treat and he wanders upstairs, to an area where they sell custom dog collars.

At children's story time, the bookstore gets busy and very noisy, Stetson heads into the evening looking for food and warmth.

A gust of wind whips the hat from the man's hand and it comes to rest beneath a parked snowplow.

The film takes the viewer on a tour of the historic mining town of Park City, Utah with Lesley Ann Fogle narrating and with a young Silas Beuhrig as the voice of Stetson, the tan and brown terrier.

Many of the conveniences of larger budget films were unavailable, for instance, a skateboard was used as a camera-dolly for a scene where Stetson crawls forward under the church pews.
