Dog TV


Sorry about the lateness of this, but I just found out about a Nature program on PBS.

"Dogs That Changed the World" is a two-part program currently airing. The first part is being repeated today at 6 p.m. on WNET, channel 13 here in Poughkeepsie. The second part will premiere Sunday at 8 p.m. and will be repeated May 5 at 6 p.m.

The first part is called "The Rise of the Dog," and in it the domestication of dogs is explored.

The second part — "Dogs by Design" — looks at how the same instinctual behaviors help different dogs do different tasks.

There's more information on the PBS Web site, including a video. So take a look and then set your TiVos, DVRs or those old-fashioned whatchamacallits, oh yeah, VCRs.
