You don’t have to be a dog owner to appreciate these programs.
We have a dog (Espn). I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. At one point when I was younger my family had three dogs. I miss all my dogs. They all lived long, happy and almost healthy lives (one dog, Sparky, had bone cancer and passed away when he was three years old).
I hope you’ll tune in and enjoy a “furtastic” weekend of doggy programs on Nat Geo WILD.
