| Summary |
*Coarse Language*Twenty-two-year-old Holly loves her dog Suki, she paints Suki's nails and puts diamantes on them and feeds her non-stop treats. Mikki lives in a rough part of London, so for protection he is training his six-month-old pup Chicka to bite. While on the street, he never has his pup on the lead, posing a danger not only to Chicka but others on the street. In the hope of becoming better pet owners, Holly and Mikki travel to South Africa to spend a week with dogs that are trained to track down rhino poachers.They meet tough-talking Henry, one of the most successful security and military dog trainers in the country. He's at war with rhino poachers. Rhinos are endangered and one is killed by illegal hunters every day. Finding the poachers is vital, but will the Brits cope with tough new responsibilities, and will the experience help them re-evaluate their own lives.Henry expects Holly and Mikki to bond and control the dogs - they are given three dogs to look after, to feed and clean up after, something Holly struggles with. They undertake bite training, where Mikki's cockiness is apparent. After two days at the dog pound, Henry takes the Brits into the African bush to further test their abilities with tracking exercises and an anti-poaching test.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC Production, series producer Lizi Wootton |
