A Bird of the Air is an upcoming sweet-yet-slightly-awkward romantic comedy that pairs Lyman, a loner of a graveyard shift Courtesy Patrol worker (Jackson Hurst), with Fiona, the bubbly librarian (Rachel Nichols) who takes an interest in him. The two come together when a mysterious parrot with an intriguing vocabulary swoops into Lyman’s life and Fiona decides to help him find the bird’s owner.
The story is charming (go see it for yourself when it’s released on Sept. 23), but the real stars of the show are seven rescue animals (five dogs and two parrots), including a Basset Hound named George, who plays “Floyd,” Fiona’s beloved pup. In the film, George is seen in a handful of elaborate outfits concocted by costume designer Joseph G. Aulisi, and our pals at Paladin Films want to give our Dogster readers a chance to win one of them:
We’re told this fleece doggie jacket is an XL, and the badges are hand sewn onto it.
To win George’s coat, along with a movie poster, talking parrot pen and any other goodies the studio can put together, simply send a hi-res photo of your dog in his/her best duds to dogsterpics [at] gmail [dot] com. We’ll select our 10 favorite photos and post them on Dogster on Wednesday, Sept. 21, and the folks behind A Bird of the Air will pick their favorite from there.
Here’s a little more about George: This Basset is eight years old. He was purchased as a puppy by some folks who did not check with their landlord (gah) and were told to move out or get rid of him. That night he was found tied in front of a homeless shelter (for people). He was rescued from there and went on to act in ABC’s sitcom The Middle and A Bird of the Air.
We’re looking forward to your photos, so get to it!
