Chapter I — The Story

Built on
real rescue.
Real heart.

The Cardiff Dog Pack begins with Kodiak — a golden-hearted Goldendoodle from Cardiff-by-the-Sea — and his crew of rescue dog friends who band together to save dogs in danger.

Inspired by real events and designed for all children — not just those raised in Christian homes — CDP delivers the kind of values-driven entertainment the market is hungry for. As the series develops, a newcomer joins the Pack who introduces the crew to prayer. Through subsequent episodes, the Pack's journey naturally unfolds into a deeper discovery of faith and the person of Jesus Christ — woven organically into the adventure so children experience the story first and the meaning second.

This approach makes the series genuinely accessible to every child regardless of background, while giving Christian families exactly the foundation they're looking for. Episode 1: Desert Rescue is live on Amazon now. The animated trailer is in production.

Chapter III — The Opportunity

A universe.
Not just a book.

The Christian children's content market is underserved by high-quality adventure content across every platform. Parents want books, videos, and characters that are genuinely exciting AND rooted in faith. There are over 50 million Christian households in the United States. Homeschooling families — one of the fastest growing demographics in the country — are actively seeking quality faith-based content. CDP is architected as a multi-platform IP from the ground up — with every character, episode, and story asset designed to scale across entertainment, merchandise, and community.

Chapter VI — The Creator
Kurtis Luke with Kodiak
Kurtis Luke
Creator · Writer · Filmmaker · Entrepreneur

Kurtis Luke is a San Diego-based author, entrepreneur, and storyteller. He holds a BA in Cinema Studies with a focus on Story in Film, and spent five years studying at The Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles — the legendary comedy and improv institution that launched the careers of Will Ferrell, Melissa McCarthy, and Kristen Wiig. He has two screenplays produced into films and extensive production experience across numerous film projects.

He is also a proven entrepreneur who co-founded a digital media company that scaled to over $10 million in annual revenue — giving him the rare combination of creative storytelling craft and real-world business execution. He knows how to build an audience, launch a product, and grow a company from zero.

Critically, Kurtis brings full in-house digital capabilities to the Cardiff Dog Pack — website design and development, landing page optimization, SEO, AI search optimization (AEO), creative ad production, and social media strategy. These capabilities that would otherwise cost tens of thousands in agency fees are built into the team from day one, meaning investment goes directly toward content and growth — not overhead.
