New Two-Part PBS-TV Mini-Series “Pets: Wild at Heart” Kicks Off Tonight [Berkshire On Stage]

Our pets may seem familiar, but they exist alongside us in a secret world of wild behavior and natural abilities that we hardly recognize:

“Pets: Wild at Heart, Playful Creatures”
Today (Wednesday, October 21) 8pm
This astonishing program filled with innovative photography and scientific revelation investigates how our favorite pets get in touch with their wild side through play. From talkative budgies, marathon-running hamsters, wall-climbing cats and diving dogs, as well as an island where rabbits rule and a city where dogs live a secret double life – discover how our pets’ playful games are just a whisker away from the wild.

“Pets: Wild at Heart, Secretive Creatures”
Wednesday, October 28, 8pm
In a program packed with incredible filming techniques, from Schlieren photography that makes smells visible, to moving X-rays, ultra slow-motion and ultraviolet vision as well as HD horsecams and doggycams, discover how our pets experience the world through their astonishing senses and hidden channels of communication. Includes the sensory secrets of budgies, horses, guinea pigs and goldfish as well as the remarkable abilities of hamsters, cats and dogs.

From the award-winning team that brought us “Earthflight” and “Penguins: Spy in the Huddle” comes a revolutionary look at our pets. Our pets may seem familiar but they exist alongside us in a secret world of wild behavior and natural abilities that we hardly recognize. This two-part series explores this parallel existence with all the techniques that have been perfected in past “spy” shows, including HD spy cameras, night vision cameras, drones, miniature on-board cameras and digital high-speed cameras.
