- Program Description
Tapping into the clearly demonstrated affection people have for pets, this program offers an offbeat, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, portrait of pets, their owners and the veterinarians who treat the beloved animals' ailments. From race horses under the knife for cancer treatment, to Manhattan hounds on Prozac, to anorexic boa constrictors, this episode shows how cutting edge veterinary medicine is saving lives and draws viewers into the mini-dramas that unfold each day in homes, in zoos and in veterinary hospitals across the country. Narrated by Hal Linden.
