(More customer reviews)First, I want to address the price issue. I was wondering myself when I purchased this set why it is so much more expensive than the first one National Geographic: Dogtown - Second Chances. Here's the answer: this one has 5 episodes. Second Chances has three.
In these 5 episodes, watchers get a very in depth look at leg amputations and how they affect the dog, the therapy involved, the surgery. I especially liked watching the determined pooches do the underwater treadmill. Episode one has a leg amputation as does episode five. The second episode introduces a very loveable, but very hurt dalmation. This one is not for the faint of heart, as his wounds get treated and restitched. Neither is a tumor case in episode five. Both of these dogs were rescued from two separate hoarding situations. (That crazy cat lady is no longer a laughing matter, people!) Episode three is about the much publicized Michael Vick dogs. The Vick dogs are pit bulls that have been trained to fight and have never known a loving or kind hand in their lives.. until now. There was one particular dog in this episode that touched my heart, Cherry. Cherry has self esteem issues as a result of having been a "bait" dog. Cherry also educates DogTown and its viewers about a disease called Babesia, much similiar to the human HIV.
My own dogs want to give a "bark out" to Knightly from episode four. I kid you not when I say they perked up and paid attention everytime this loveable weimaraner came on screen. His human parents grew too old and frail to take care of him. DogTown sees he gets a new home.
Why do I need to go live in Oregon? Cause all my favorite dogs on this show end up in Oregon!
An added bonus that certainly doesn't hurt this shows 5 star rating is the adorable, cute, sexy John Garcia. I think Paul Walker has some competition.
