In the 1963 film The Birds, director Hitchcock, during a cameo appearance can be seen walking his two Sealyham terriers Geoffrey and Stanley out of a shop as Tippi Hedren enters. Producer Hilton A. Green, said, “… those dogs ate better than most people in the world. I mean, he would go to the store and get the finest cut of meat and have them ground it up for these dogs. They were wonderful! He would bring them to work. They would be in his office, and he loved them dearly.

    In the 2012 movie "Hitchcock" we can see sealyhams appear along with Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Helen Mirren.
