Now patrons can enjoy dogs both on and off screen. A movie theater in Vienna, Austria is scheduling daily shows for animal lovers who want to bring their pooches to the movies.

According to Cinema Treasures, “The Admiral cinema used to have “dog days” only once a month to compete with larger theaters, but has begun hosting them daily because of their popularity, the Mirror reported Wednesday.”

In addition to the on-screen entertainment, The Admiral kicks in a blanket, popcorn and water for the dogs upon their arrival.

“The volume for the films is turned down a bit so as not to hurt the animals’ ears,” a spokesman said.

Chicago’s Woods Theatre had the filthiest and stickiest floors by far. Making your way to a center seat was like walking on a glue stick. Rat droppings? You bet, but never any piles of poop. At least none that I witnessed. A pack of nervous dogs filled with popcorn could mean extra duty for the ushers.
