Dog on Trial

Dog on Trial (Le Procès du Chien, 2024) is a Swiss-French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. April is a lawyer with a reputation for taking cases no one else will. Her latest client is Cosmos — a dog that has bitten three people and now faces being put down. It is the first canine trial on record.

Laetitia Dosch wrote the script, directed, and plays April herself — the triple role gives the film its slightly breathless, fully committed energy. François Damiens plays the dog's devoted owner, while Kodi the dog holds his own in the courtroom scenes. What begins as an absurdist procedural grows into something sharper: a quiet argument about whose life counts as worth saving. Stream Dog on Trial online on iFILM.
