-------------------------------------BY: TIFFANY DITTO Staff Writer -------------------------------------Life in the Doghouse is a heartfelt documentary that drops into the lives of two men who share their home with 71 rescue dogs as they search for the perfect forever home for each. The film follows Danny and Ron?s Rescue, run by power couple Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta, as they travel county to county taking in dogs who are due for euthanasia later that day, or that have special needs that make them hard to adopt out. Viewers will have their heartstrings pulled as they hear how Danny and Ron began their journey as a rescue in 2005 during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The two men rescued and rehomed 600 dogs during this time in an adventure that put them on the path they are on today, having adopted out more than 11,000 dogs to date. Viewers will see the trials and tribulations the couple face as they bring more dogs in need into their home. From the struggle to fund a non-profit, to the amount of work and grit it takes to keep their home clean every day. 36 | TEXASDOGMAGAZINE.COM

Gone are the dining room table, guest beds, and space for humans.

The film will take movie watchers on a rollercoaster of emotions. Viewers will experience heartbreak as the couple say goodbye to one of their longtime residents who lost his battle with cancer, become filled with worry as the rescue looks for funding to make it to the next month, and find hope that
many of the dogs with unique needs will find a loving home. Danny and Ron express the overall sentiment of the film best, and one that we can all agree with: ?Let's not buy a dog, let's save a dog.?
