Katrina's Animal Rescue
When hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the city's human residents weren't the only ones who had to cope with flooded and devastated homes. More than 250,000 forsaken pets-beloved family members-were left stranded by the storm's destruction. Witness stories of joy and heartbreak as rescue workers risk their lives to venture into polluted floodwaters and break into abandoned homes to rescue animals half mad with hunger, thirst, and stress; vets work nonstop to provide medical treatment to rescued animals; and volunteers help returning families look through thousands of cages to find their precious pets.
Underdogs
Holly, a one-year-old bloodhound with a hyperactive and destructive nature, had lived in six different homes by the time she was ten months old. Herbie, a two-year-old bearded collie, attacked livestock and was at risk of being shot by a local farmer. In America and England, trainers Larry Allen and Barbara Sykes recognize the potential of these unwanted and abandoned animals, and put their professional reputations on the line to transform them into valuable working dogs. It's Holly and Herbie's last chance for a new beginning, and it all comes down to the next twelve weeks to turn their lives around.
