Paws is an independent 1997 Australian family comedy film that was released on 25 September 1997 in Australia and filmed in Sydney.

The film stars 15-year-old guitarist Nathan Cavaleri who has adventures with PC—a talking Jack Russell Terrier (voiced by comedian Billy Connolly). The dog is computer literate—skills acquired from his former master allowing him to create a computer program that translates his words into English, with Zac subsequently designing a portable version that can be 'concealed' in a bow tie—and the pair must a stop a valuable disk from falling into the wrong hands.
