The Palm Dog Award is a yearly award presented by the international film critics during the Cannes Film Festival. Begun in 2001 by Toby Rose,[1] it is awarded to the best performance by a canine (live or animated) or group of canines. The award consists of a leather dog collar with the term "PALM DOG".[2] The name of the award is a play on words of the Palme d'Or, the festival's highest honor. In 2023, Woopets, a leading media company, announced that it had taken over the event from its founder, Toby Rose.[3]
