“Throw Us a Bone!” — The Dog from Good Boy Begs the Academy for an Oscars Award

In a surprisingly charming move during awards season, the independent film studio IFC has published an open letter to the Academy Awards. What makes it unusual? The letter isn’t signed by a person – it’s signed by a dog!

Indy, the adorable dog who starred in the IFC horror-comedy *Good Boy*, is officially asking the Academy Awards to consider animal actors for acting awards. In a playful message, Indy argues it’s time to acknowledge the work of talented animal performers like himself, who often don’t get the recognition they deserve.
