As Episode 1 of "The Hidden Lives of Pets" (2022 release from the UK; 4 episodes ranging from 30 to 34 min each) opens, we are introduced to Bruno and his collie as they are walking in the Swiss mountains. Bruno loves to basejump, and one day he takes his collie with him on his next basejump... At this point we are less than 10 minutes into Episode 1
Couple of comments: when I think of "pets", I must admit that I think primarily of dogs and cats, even though there are many other pets of course. This series does pay attention to dogs and cats, although the primary attention is on those many other pets: parrots, bunnies, rats, goldfish, you name it, this series has it. It makes for enjoyable viewing, even instructive viewing at times, but I will admit that, as a decades-long owner of a cat (I am on my third cat over the last 30 years or so), I wish that this series paid more attention to the "hidden lives" of cats. All that aside, I was entertained by this mini-series, and these 4 episodes few by in no time.
"The Hidden Lives of Pets" started streaming on Netflix several months ago. It was in fact my daughter who alerted me to this series, and it was upon her recommendation that I recently checked it out. I binge-watched all 4 episodes in a single setting. If you have a pet, be it a dog or cat or any other species, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.
