The documentary Trendy dog peeks into the glamorous world of laps-dogs, where dogs are not simply shaggy, four-legged creatures but personalities with a capital “P”. Heroines of the documentary are Nele and Mariana and their lap-dogs Vishenka and Bellerd Öre Extreme Beauty aka Nufi. Together they face whatever life throws at them, be it the stressful preparation for a dogs' fashion show or the quest to find a true match made in heaven. It is a story about the rather unconventional relationship between women and their dogs.
