Dogtown

There's a new show tonight on National Geographic channel at 9pm Eastern time that sounds promising.  It's about an animal rescue society in Southern Utah that's set up a sort of dog-heaven for stray and unwanted dogs.  "Dogtown" is built for hundreds of dogs to live in small packs, where they get to play together, eat well, and get lots of patting, vet-care, and training by animal lovers.  Started in 1987, Dogtown takes on hard-to-place dogs and rehabilitates them, eventually placing them in adoptive homes.  Here's the link to find out more.  http://www.bestfriends.org/Dogtown/

But meanwhile, I'm going to try it out, tonight, which is really amazing, since my husband and I are rarely pulled off our reading except for occasional news, weather, and sports.  We watch some HBO series on Netflicks, but that's much different than getting interrupted by ads all the time.  But this show may be worth it, with it's compelling storyline of abused and homeless dogs finding heaven.  Hope you'll give it a try too.
