Hungry pilgrims weren’t the only cargo aboard the Mayflower when it made its first New World landing in Provincetown in 1620--at least two dogs were on board as well.

Today, Provincetown remains one of the most welcoming canine retreats, with more than 30 pet-friendly places to stay, off-leash beaches and trails and doggie-friendly patio dining. Opened in 2009, The Pilgrim Bark is solely supported by volunteers and private donations. It was established to reflect the town’s love of dogs and provide animal welfare resources to the community.

The park also reflects the town’s long history as a thriving artist colony as evidenced by the benches and dog houses designed and painted by local artists.

Woody Allen's 'Whatever Works' kicks off Ptown film fest

The opening night film at the Provincetown Film Festival will be the New England premiere of Woody Allen's "Whatever Works" starring Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley, Jr.

Allen returns to New York with an offbeat comedy about a crotchety misanthrope (David from "Curb Your Enthusiasm") and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the South (Wood). When her uptight parents (Clarkson and Begle.) arrive to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements.

Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."

The film festival will take place in Provincetown from June 17-21. "Whatever Works" screens at the Art House beginning at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, June 17.
