The Hardest Day is an award-winning film about the power of the human-animal bond in its last moments, and those who help navigate along the way. In 2018, filmmakers Ross Taylor and Luke Rafferty documented an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of the compassionate veterinarians who help provide a peaceful passing to pets as their parents bid them a final goodbye at home. It's a testimony to the powerful love shared by all involved.

• Best Documentary (Long), American Golden Picture Film Festival

• Best Director, Silver State Film Festival

• Award of Excellence, BEA Festival of Media Arts
