Does anyone know who the man is that was sitting on the sofa giving raspberries on his dogs tummy? He doesn’t know it yet but he’s the man of my dreams.

I saw the PBS show last evening. Absolutely wonderful, heartwarming as well as a tear jerker! Jerry reminded me so much of our rescue, Roscoe, the wonderful golden retriever. We always take our 4 leggers everywhere with us. We bought an old minnie winnie so they can go camping with us. we were in FL on vacation 2 1/2 yrs ago when Roscoe started bleeding internally. Our vet at home located an emergency vet that saved Roscoe’s life but also mentioned the ugly cancer word. We started Roscoe on chemo when we returned home. Unbeknownst to us the cancer had spread and the chemo was unable to stop it. I know Jerry and Roscoe are together sharing their camping stories . . and their water loving ocean jaunts. We still have Roscoe’s mate, Princess, our black lab mix – - she turns 16 April 15th. A couple of weeks after we made the difficult decision to let Roscoe go . . . we rescued an 8 yr old chocolate lab named Shep. He and Princess are now the best of “buds” and he, too, is now learning how to go camping and enjoying his new pawrents as we have come to claim him as one of our own. Roscoe, Oscar and Ralph’s cremains are at home with us. Our family has been instructed that when the last of our family is gone, all of our cremains are to be mixed together and taken to our favorite beach in FL so we will all be together again.

Does anyone know the name of that guitar piece that was playing at the end while the pet owners were talking? Or who it is by, or if it available commercially?

I absolutely loved this show. My sister and I have two dogs and 11 birds, and they mean the world to us.
The bond that we have with our pets is incomparable. Everyday we learn something from them. The story about Jerry brought tears to my eyes. It is very upsetting to hear how in some countries animals are being abused, and there are no laws to protect them. Thank you pbs, for showing how special our pets are, and how important they are in our lives. PBS would you please air this show again. 100% animal lover!

I think America gives cats a bad name, not all cats are mean, I play hide-go-seek with my cat, I dress him in male baby t-shirts, he poses for me to take photos, his famous shot is laying on his back waiting for belly rub. He is so handsome, gold and white tabby with tiger stripes, he lets all the neighbor pet him. We talk to each other in (gu-gu ga-ga) baby talk. He taps me wakes me in the morning, and takes me to the ktichen look up where I keep his food, sometimes he climbs up and get it himself If I dont get up. I am a sickly person, he is so precious to me, I dont have the energy to walk a dog in all types of weather. Not all cats are mean, a mean its all about the breed, and temperment of the animal, cats, or dog. I plan to get him a cat stroller and takes him for rides, and walks in the park. Its so funny my family would hear us both talking to each other, they cant believe he answers back, or if I call him he anwser in the next room, when I say come! he comes to me amazing. He is extremely smart whenever I am going out once I put my coat on, or take up the keys he goes to the door. He would put his mouth under the door, and cry for me, the neighbors would hear him bawling louder and louder, I left the radio on all day, plus window half open, he has free roam of the place. I treasure this pet, he has help me through my health storms, hate to leave him to go to the hospital, have friends who loves cats to take care of him until, the best thing is when we reunite, he follows me everywhere cant go in the bathroom, he would climb up and turn the nob with his paw, he dont want to let me out of his sight. I would get a dog later on when my health is stable, hate to see people mistreat animals, dogs, or cats. My first pet was a puppy who was near, and dear to me. I am writing to say give a cat a fair chance as well as whats given to a dog, seems to me America favors more for dogs. Everyone has their own liking, but the three cats I ever own we develop such a bond they all become human-like, the love& passion that is given to them they respond back the same. Yes indeed! I am passionate for cats, all cats. God bless all the Pet Parents who adopt,and become caregivers to them. Good Job!
