PetBallad announces personalized songs and films that transform owners’ photos, videos, and stories into memorials and celebrations for their pets.
United States, September 5, 2026 -- Every pet owner has the same thing in their pocket: a phone full of them. Thousands of photos. Hundreds of short, unremarkable videos, the dog mid-shake, the cat claiming the warm laundry, ten seconds of nothing in particular that somehow turns out to be everything.

PetBallad exists to turn those scattered moments into one thing a family can keep: a song written about that specific animal, and a short film built around it from the owner’s own photos and videos.
Why It Started
When a pet dies, the phone is where people go to find them. Scrolling, late at night, one photo at a time.
For a long time the pet memorial market offered objects, urns, paw prints, portraits, jewellery. Beautiful things that mark a loss. What was harder to find was something that held the life itself: how the animal moved, what they did every morning, the shape they left in a household when they were gone.
That’s the gap PetBallad was built for. Not a template with a name inserted. A song and a film about the one animal that lived in that house, made from what that family actually has.
It Starts With the Story, Not the Pictures
The first thing PetBallad asks for isn’t photographs. It’s words. The name. The habits. The ridiculous thing they did every day. The way they knew, before anyone said anything, what kind of day you’d had.
A song is written from that, and sent to the owner before anything else is made. If a word is wrong, it changes. If the feeling is off, it changes. The song is revised as many times as it takes, because everything else depends on it being right.
Only then is the film assembled, by hand, from the owner’s own photos and clips, and checked frame by frame before it reaches the family. What arrives is the film in both widescreen and vertical formats, a short teaser, the full song to keep, and a lyrics sheet made for framing, all on a private page the family can share with the people who knew the pet.

For the Ones Who Are Gone
Memorial films are the heart of what PetBallad does. Pet loss is a grief people feel deeply and often carry quietly, and the studio treats it that way: no stock imagery, no euphemism, no rushing.
Sometimes there’s a date to meet, a burial, a scattering, a gathering where the film will be shown. For those families, PetBallad offers an expedited option that delivers the finished film within 24 hours.
For the Ones Still Here
Not every film is a goodbye. Some of the best ones are made while the pet is asleep on the couch in the next room.
Celebration films mark birthdays, gotcha days, adoption anniversaries and new arrivals, a puppy’s first year, a rescue’s first month home, a senior dog still holding court. The process is identical: the owner’s story, a song written for that animal, a film built from their own footage.
And there’s a small, particular joy that comes with these: playing the song out loud with the pet in the room, and watching them look up at the sound of their own name.
“People don’t want a template with their dog’s name dropped into it,” says Resto Thomas of PetBallad. “They want the specific thing, the way he waited by the door, the spot on the couch that’s hers. That’s what the song gets built from. And it’s why we make films for pets who are very much alive. You don’t have to wait until they’re gone to make something that says what they meant.”

The marketing of classical music concerts has increasingly focused on the musician rather than the music, with the often ephemeral cult of personality perceived as more valuable than the notes they play, at least in drawing an audience. So, it was refreshing to hear the fine young musician John Lee play. After studying at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, where he is now a member of the faculty, Lee earned a master’s degree from the Royal College of Music in London with distinction and...

The history of the betel nut, also known as the areca nut, stretches further back than previously thought. New research suggests that people on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi were enjoying its mind-altering effects as long as 25,000 years ago. The discovery began with two ancient skeletons whose teeth bore curious, deep grooves. Australian archaeologists suspected these were the result of repeatedly sucking on whole betel nuts. Chemical analysis subsequently detected traces of arecoline, the...
Widely known as Sam the Cooking Guy, Sam Zien is an enthusiastic proponent of sweet potatoes. He loves mashing them and seasoning with miso, butter and chopped spring onions. Or he cubes, boils and roasts the sweet potatoes, then adds a generous dollop of lemon yogurt, with sprinkles of dukkah, a mixture of chopped nuts and sesame seeds, seasoned with cumin, coriander and salt. Another way is to add sweet potatoes to quesadillas with Mexican chorizo, a highly seasoned fatty pork sausage, and...
