1. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen: 

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens' name tells you a lot about this breed: they're from the Vendéen region of France; they're small; they're short and close to the earth (as are many scenthounds); and they have rough or wiry coats. What that translation doesn't tell you is that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen — called PBGVs by breed lovers — just might be the happiest dog on earth.

Originally from France, this medium-sized and medium-energy breed can grow to between 25-40 pounds and lives an average of 14-16 years. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club and classified as a member of the Hound group.

2. Shows.

-Dr Jeff: I choose this show beacuse he's committed to providing low-cost animal care to all, which means he puts the welfare of the pets well before profit. What's lost in income is made up for in the sheer volume of animals he treats and the selfless satisfaction in knowing that he has improved lives and the quality of veterinary care. And that's why they should see it, so they can see the work that a vet does.

-Wild Times: I choose because the Irwins take us inside the Australia Zoo to continue Steve’s mission (his dad) to protect the world’s wildlife. From crocodiles to red pandas, Bindi, Robert and Terri tell us everything we need to know about these wonderful wild animals we love and taht's why they should see it.

-Meet the orangutans: I choose because we meet the orphaned and injured orangutans that receive care at the world's oldest orangutan sanctuary in Borneo, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Watch as they learn everything their mothers would have taught them in the wild. And they should see it, so they can see the work that is done to rehabilitate the orangutans and so they can return to their natural habitat.
