True stories that demonstrate a clear mutual rescue theme—how the person and companion rescue animal each profoundly benefited from their bond—are accepted continuously at through our submission form. Mutual Rescue shares written stories online and creates short films of selected stories.
Following the release of our first film in 2016, we received more than 400 story submissions. The top contenders were judged by professionals in animal welfare, science, and the visual, literary, and performing arts sectors.
