SNIFF is a hybrid of documentary and fiction  - Veteran British actors Neil Morrissey and Richard Huw star as unemployed actors Neil and Richard, who travel from London to San Francisco to work as concierges at Infinite Paws, a high-end dog hotel run by Neil's old flame Juliette (Amanda Plummer) and her husband Derek (Maurice Godin). On the job Neil and Richard wear proper suits and giant dog masks, but during off-hours they make a documentary about dogs. Outgoing Neil favors heart-warming vignettes about dogs that skateboard and surf, but straitlaced Richard is drawn to the heroic stories of guide dogs and search-and-rescue dogs.
