The canine star of “Dog on Trial” has been awarded the Palm Dog prize at Cannes. Kodi is a griffon mix who plays Cosmos in the Swiss comedy-drama. The dog narrowly beat sighthound Xin who instead wagged away with the Grand Jury Prize for the Chinese drama “Black Dog.” The Palm Dog awards aren’t officially a part of the Cannes Film Festival.

This year's award was announced on Friday.
