Special Needs Pets on Channel 4
Think you've seen disabled pets with your dog with a dodgy back leg? Think again, as a Channel 4 documentary, on Thursday night promises everything from:
Parrots on anti-depressants, to paralysed rabbits in wheelchairs.
The programme asks how far owners will go for their special needs companions, sometimes in a bid not to have them put down.
You can catch preview clips on the website, including paralysed rabbit Ethel in action in her wheelchair.
is on Thursday 20th November at 9pm.
...For disabled pets of the fictional variety you might prefer Aussie comedy Summer Heights High, currently being repeated on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three. I don't want to give the game away, but keep an eye on pampered pooch Celine during the series.
