AJAX the Kea Dog

AJAX the Kea Dog is a short documentary that tells the story of Ajax, a remarkable conservation dog trained to help protect native kea in Aotearoa New Zealand. The film highlights the bond between Ajax and his handler, and the important role conservation dogs play in safeguarding endangered wildlife. The documentary is intimate and heartfelt, inviting viewers to connect with both the kaupapa and the characters at its centre.
Burn My Records created the audio and music for the project, including the original song Good Boy, written especially for Ajax. The song reflects Ajax’s personality, loyalty and gentle nature, adding warmth and emotional resonance to the film.
