It's wonderful to see so many dogs finding their forever home. BUT why do they put the dog through the confusing routine of being thrust into an enclosed yard with strangers while their only familiar person goes away?

For a dog who has been abandoned, that is foolish and unfair. No wonder they usually don't instantly warm to the strangers at first. It's an exercise in humiliation for the new owners as they frolic around to attract the dog, who trots anxiously around ignoring them.

Meet the dog with the familiar person there. Then take them for a walk together and hand the leash over along the way. That's much kinder to both. I expected better animal behaviour skills from the staff. Not impressed.

I'm loving this show, because it's so entertaining! Big fierce hunter didn't have a clue. Those with the biggest egos do so badly. When the self-professed indigenous fellow didn't recognise a non-native portuguese millipede, I was shouting at the screen. When he actually TASTED it, I nearly fell off my seat laughing. Mate, if it's visible and plentiful, it's because nothing eats it! Equally hilarious was the man chopping endlessly at the bark of a growing tree for one witchetty grub while standing amongst rotting fallen logs, which would be seething with them. And ignoring a butterfly right in front, which would be perfect trout bait. Can't wait for the next episode!
