At this year’s Cannes film festival, The Palm Dog (the award for the best performance by a dog in a Cannes film) was won by Lucy, the canine lead in Kelly Riechardt’s Wendy and Lucy. The mixed breed pooch, part hunting dog and part retriever, appears alongside Michelle Williams in the film.

Lucy is Riechardt’s own pet. In the film, Williams plays Wendy, whose car breaks down on her way to seek summer work in Alaska.

The jury prize went to Molly, the dog appearing in, and on the poster of, Norwegian comedy O’Horten, directed by Bent Hamer.
