The real story

Welcome to
Marley & Bertie's World.

Bertie and Marley are two real dogs whose friendship lies at the heart of everything they do. They share their food, toys and everyday adventures, although they occasionally bicker like any close friends. Inspired by their lives together, we began imagining what might happen if they were given the chance to experience adventures beyond the ordinary — and started building a whole universe of stories around them, with more friends joining the world as it grows.

Their world on screen

Two dogs. Impeccable standards.

In their world, Marley (YorkiePoo) holds court like royalty and Bertie (Cavapoo) reports for duty like a decorated veteran. Together, they have opinions about everything — and a full list of favourites to prove it.
