Dogs and popcorn fill Middlebury arena for a movie night

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. (WCAX) – A new Netflix film is trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most dogs to attend a film screening in Middlebury.

‘Inside the Mind of a Dog’ which was directed by Middlebury resident Andy Mitchell held a screening Satursay at the Memorial Sports Center in the town.

The record was set last year when 219 dogs saw Paw Patrol.

“Oh definitely not for this one but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for my whole life. My 13 year old came to me and said dad you should break that record with your new movie so I give Billy full credit for that idea,” said Andy Mitchell, film director. “It’s also like look at the community they just rallied around us their so excited, ‘There’s a Better Middlebury Partnership’, Kelly Katherine, has really come to our help and it’s just been a wonderful community support it’s been amazing.” Organizers said at least 280 dogs and owners registered before the showing and they believe they had even more show up.
