Animal lovers will love the new exhibition in Dublin City

This is wonderful. The quirky antics of some of Ireland’s celebrity pets have been revealed in a special photography exhibition that captures what the pets get up to when their famous owners aren’t at home. Pets of celebrities including Gordon D’Arcy, Glenda Gilson, Mary Byrne and Roz Purcell feature in ‘Petography: The Secret Life of Pets Exhibition’. The pets of Rosanna Davison, Holly Carpenter, Kathryn Thomas, Mark Cagney, Michelle McGrath, Gillian Quinn, Aoibheann McCaul, Dr Eva Osmond, Pete Wedderburn, Adele King and PJ Gallagher also feature.

The exhibition is open at Filmbase in Dublin’s Temple Bar and has been created by the team from Universal Pictures Ireland to celebrate the release of The Secret Life of Pets, which hits Irish cinemas on June 24th. It has been organised in association with the ISPCA and the pictures featured will be auctioned in aid of the charity on its website until the exhibition closes.

The Secret Life of Pets is an Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures comedy about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. Speaking at the launch event last night Carmel Murray, from ISPCA said:

“We are delighted to partner with Universal Pictures Ireland on such a fun campaign. It’s been a great project to be involved in and we can’t wait to see if any of our celebrity pets get up to the same sort of antics as the characters in The Secret Life of Pets when the movie hits cinema screens.”

'Petography' will run at Filmbase until June 28th and entry is free. For more information on the exhibition and to place a bid on one of the portraits visit www.ispca.ie.
