Best Friends Animal Society - The return of Dogtown on National Geographic



We were just thrilled to learn of the return of the great TV series for dog lovers; Dogtown on National Geographic. Filmed at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT, this series is amazing and really showcases the fabulous work done at Best Friends. I have been there, attending a "Starting a Sanctuary" workshop in late 2003. Many of the original founders of this group were present for the seminar and we were amazed at the way they have created such a wonderful haven for these animals. It really is a way of life for those devoted souls who call this place their labor of love.


Of particular interest to me is their showcase on the recent rehabilitation work they are doing with the Michael Vick dogs. You can read Meryl's story on the link provided and marvel at her prograss in loving hands. I have two rescued bullies of my own and the are so misunderstood. Watch the program and visit the link I have provided for details about the upcoming programs in the series which starts on March 20th. I can't wait to return to Best Friends. I hope to travel there next summer with some youngsters to dig and and get my hands dirty; walking dogs, scooping poo and just marveling at this amazing place!
