- Series Description
An animal show for grown-ups as well as kids. For the last ten years, first with the Massachusetts SPCA and since then with the London-based International Society for the Protection of Animals (whose American office he then headed), John Walsh has been point man in the effort to control the natural and man caused horrors menacing the planet's wildlife. Every week on "Walsh's Animals" deals with both domestic and wild animals, in an effort to provide people with information to help save endangered wildlife and to correct domestic abuses. Footage of the ways animals live in the wild combined with tips on animal care are a regular feature of each show. See October 1973 Prime Time for cover story. Series release date: 10/1/1973.
- Program Description
Dogs--from domestic to wild canids. Praise for the mongrel, often more intelligent than the thoroughbred dog. The story of how John found Pikki, a mongrel and John's constant companion, how John saved her from a jungle flood--and how Pikki returned the favor by saving John from a jaguar. First aid for the injured dog with Peter Theran, DVM. "Having Puppies"--with a proud mother and fourteen Irish Setter pups, with proud human papa, David Atwood. "Having too many puppies"--the abuses that come about when people do not face up to the problem of animal overpopulation. And the wolf--a vanishing North American species, with a moving exchange between John and a timber wolf.
