Dublin pub MVP allows dogs into its bar, nearby café Pupp allows dogs in for brunch. Heck, in SHEmazing Towers we even allow puppies to sit at our desks.

So when we heard that a London cinema had decided to open its doors to willing canines (and their owners), we got just a little bit excited. Surely this means it's not long until we can bring Fido along to Cineworld with us?

The Picturehouse Central in London has scheduled in a season of films all about the relationship between pooches and their owners, and the first screening will be open to dogs as well as humans.

"It's a brave cinema that opens up their doors to dogs," the Picturehouse's programme director Clare Binns admitted to The Times yesterday.

However the paper notes that Clare is expecting a "higher class" of dog – i.e. one that won't drool or pee on all those plush cinema seats.

While the first film of the season, Heart Of A Dog, is described as a "dreamy, drifty and altogether lovely movie," the next, Amoros Perros, might not be quite so chilled – it's set in Mexico and deals with the aftermath of a "horrific car crash."

Right, who wants to be the first to sneak their dog into an Irish cinema? We won't tell if you won't…
