• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about the connection between humans and their pets.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Right I have three dogs.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I feel pretty connected. A little closer to one maybe
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: than the other two, but for the most part, you know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: love them all.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, of course. It's like your children.
• 0:34

• 0:35
  Speaker 3: have an easiest child.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, I have.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I always tell them when they ask me the favorite
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I said, it varies. Sometimes you're my favorite, sometimes you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: my favorite.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Depending on you all that, you know what I mean.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But what kind of pet stories do you follow on
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this dock?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's it was a really fun experience
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: because there's kind of three areas that we we explored.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: One is that I interviewed kids about their pets. So
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: kids are sort of the narrators of this documentary. It's
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: sort of narrated by a Greek chorus of children. Oh
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: that's cool. Have kind of the greatest hits of my
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: favorite viral videos that give me dopamine hits, you know
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: when you watch them with pets.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And then we profiled.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: A number of pets and their people around the world,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: folks in particular who work in the rescue space and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: so so yeah, those kind of stories of mutual rescue.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: There what great family viewing right there. And I got
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: imagine there were some wild pets. Did you did you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have some pretty wild pets in the dock or were
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: some of those.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean I tried. I tried to be careful
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: because it's there's a there's sort of a fine line
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: between you know, you don't like you shouldn't have a
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: wild pet, you know, like they're like a pet is domesticated,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: whereas a wild animal is a wild animal. Now in
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the rescue space, you know that if if there's say,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: like there's uh Rodney Stops, one of the characters or
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: one of the guys who we profiled in this he
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: he rehabilitates birds of prey and uh, and so it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: not uh the relationship is almost like that of a
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: pet and a human. But the goal is to release
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the bird back into the wild. So yeah, so there's
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: so we do go kind of in that direction. There's pigs,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: there's goats, there's sheep, there's you know, obviously the classic
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: cats and dogs all of that.
• 2:44
