Allianz, the official insurance partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, released a short documentary film that explores the mental health struggles athletes face preparing for the Olympic Games and the positive impact that emotional support dogs can have on reducing stress and anxiety. The film follows the stories of two leading international skateboarders, Leticia Bufoni (Brazil) and Dashawn Jordan (US), and how emotional support dogs helped them when they needed it most.

BBDO New York served as creative agency behind the campaign. Jacob Rosenberg directed the film via The Reserve Label.
