Dog-day afternoon at drive-in screen

Movie-goers will be swapping popcorn and fizzy drinks for bones and bowls of water when Ireland’s only drive-in cinema opens its doors to pets next week.

It’s set to be a dog-day afternoon for big-screen loving bow-wows and scaredy cats as Movie Junction in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, stages a series of mid-term fundraising screenings to help four animal welfare organisations.

But never mind your Marley and Me or 101 Dalmatians.
