Cannes' Palm Dog winner is 'La Perra'

Yuri the dog from the Chilean movie “La Perra” has won the coveted Palm Dog award in Cannes.

The prize was given Friday, a day before the festival’s official awards ceremony.

Director Dominga Sotomayor collected the dog collar prize with a stand-in look-alike pooch.

Lola, the border terrier cross who appears in the British movie “I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning,” took the Grand Jury prize.

The Palm Dog Award was founded in 2001 by film journalist Toby Rose with a mission to give equal celebration to canines at Cannes as their human co-stars.
