What's it all about?

Iamagooddog.com is about helping homeless animals and having fun. The site, which offers 40,000 Good Dog Blocks at $10US each, will raise $400K to produce a feature film based on the screenplay entitled "Good Dogs". Once complete, the film will be made available (at no charge) to non-profit animal groups everywhere, to screen as a fund-raiser. In addition, each person that purchases one or more Good Dog Blocks will receive a copy of the movie for FREE.

As soon as all 40,000 Good Dog Blocks are sold and production of the film begins, you and your Good Dog will have the opportunity to win cool prizes like a walk-on role in the film, autographed memorabilia, an invitation to the premiere, t-shirts, dog toys, posters, etc... The website itself will stand (for a minimum of five years) as a reflection of a group of Good Dogs (and their loving humans) that came together and helped make a difference for less fortunate animals.

What is a Good Dog Block?

A Good Dog Block is a square of internet history that can belong to your canine friend. Each Good Dog Block measure 40x40 pixels and each page is divided into 625 of these blocks. There are a total of 40,000 Good Dog Blocks available - and when they're gone - they're GONE.

When you buy a GD Block(s), you can display a photo, an ad or a logo of your choice (keeping within the theme of dogs please) in the space you have purchased and link that block(s) to a website, blog, photo, email address, YouTube video, etc... There are no obscene or offensive images or links allowed.

You can purchase multiple, separate GD Blocks or multiple grouped GD Blocks. Separate GD Blocks allow you to display say, three separate dogs. Grouped GD Blocks allow you to display a larger image of say, one dog. You can purchase as many GD Blocks as you'd like, as long as they are available.

Grouped Good Dog Blocks = =

Who should buy a Good Dog block?

• Anyone with a Good Dog - which is everyone who has a dog because all dogs are GOOD
• Anyone who wishes they had a dog (we have some very cool "virtual" dogs)
• Anyone who has a friend with a dog (a Good Dog Block makes an awesome gift)
• Anyone with a Good Dog that has past on (a Good Dog Block is a great way to honor a friend's memory)
• Businesses looking to promote their Good Dog goodies and/or services
• Animal related non-profit groups looking to promote their efforts
• Anyone who loves independent movies (you can choose a virtual dog if you don't have one of your own)

How will this help animals?

Non-profit, animal organizations rely on donations to care for the millions of homeless animals that cycle through shelters each year. When you purchase a Good Dog Block, the non-profit animal group of your choice will receive a cash donation. And provided that the Good Dogs - Box-Office Blocks™ effort is successful, animal related organizations everywhere will have the opportunity to screen the feature film “Good Dogs” as a fund-raiser. In addition, many animal groups that partner with us to help promote the iamagooddog.com website, will share in a percentage of the profits generated by the film.

What is the film about? Who is the filmmaker?

The Film:

"Good Dogs" tells the story of Detective Solomon Speck who is riding the missing persons desk during his last month on the force. When the Director of the local humane society is reported missing, Speck adds the case to his workload and anticipates the common resolution within the first twenty-four hours. But as the interviews unfold, Speck finds himself with a growing list of suspects and a case that could very well be murder.

In his search for answers, Speck discovers an environment filled with contradiction: compassion and hostility; tenderness and dark humor; loved but unwanted animals. And as the truth begins to materialize, Speck must decide between upholding the law and letting sleeping dogs lie.

Mystery, romance and an ending that gives new meaning to rooting for the underdog.

What if all 40,000 blocks don't sell?

There are over 70 million dogs with homes in the United States and we believe that there are at least 40,000 dog parents, animal related businesses and/or non-profit organizations that will be willing to support this effort.

If at any point, it looks like all 40,000 blocks will not be sold, we will focus on developing and distributing a series of public service announcements (PSA) relating to pet ownership responsibility.
