We live in the country and our local cable company does not have animal planet but I was visiting relatives in New York and I had animal planet on every time I had control over the remote. I had seen animal precinct once. It was an episode where a junkyard owner had a rottie in a pen with no shelter. The officers told the owner that all he had to do was provide a dog house, food, water and clean up the glass and oil. I felt bad for the dog. He looked sad. I hate to see dogs living outside.
