New Dog TV Show

There is a new TV show about dogs on Swedish TV. The first episode was aired today. The show is about dogs who needs a new home, and they get to go to families who can "try them out".

I feel sorry for any dog who is forced to move to a new family in an adult age, when the dog has grown accustomed to certain habits. It may be necessary in many cases, and it turns out for the better in a lot of cases, but it is still some kind of tragedy behind any such move. This is why I have chosen not to watch this TV show.

The Swedish Kennel Club (SKK) has given some input to the producers. SKK is not actively endorsing the show, nor critizising it right out. It gives its view of the show and the need to give some dogs new homes on the web page (in Swedish).

We have to hope everything goes well for the dogs in the TV show.
