  • We all love our pets. Most of us opt for fairly conventional companions, like domesticated cats and dogs. But what happens when people choose rather more exotic friends? We went to find out, via meetings with wolfdogs, crocodiles - and some very unusual cats.
    Presented by Johnny Burrow
    Produced by Matthew Holroyd

    No animals were harmed in the making of this film, and none of those mentioned - or any requiring a DWA license - should be viewed as suitable pets for most people. They require meticulous training and expertise to maintain the safety of both the animal and its owner, and their purchase is in no way encouraged or promoted by this documentary.
    Serval cats should always be kept outside, and those featured in this film live in a large outdoor cattery.

    Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs are often aloof and unruly - Vulric is unusually well behaved. They are not recommended as pets for the general public.

    Excellent documentary. Well presented and candid about the selfishness of people who buy these kinds of Wolf-dogs. This is not a good idea. I’m so disappointed that people continue to buy these animals for their own selfish reasons.

      An exotic pet is usually wanted because it "looks cool and different" and they can show it off to people. Lots of people do, look at the people who buy tigers and leopards and walk them on leashes. It's a great way of saying "Look at me!"

    I thought that was excellent and extremely interesting (beating expectations!). I liked the editing and balance of the piece. I did wonder slightly about the alternative life for these animals. It gave a number of points to think about. I was not so sure about the Serval in the lap....

      America is decades behind in thinking. The world has moved on and because we know so much more about these animals and what their needs are and risk we have rules about what people can have as pets and the training one needs to manage these animals safely. In america the rules are very poor putting animals at risk of abuse and suffering and people at risk of being injured very badly or killed.

      😂 Yes go tell a wild wolf how much you respect it. It will show its respect to you by eating your face off. Hell zookeepers have been killed by animals they’ve tended to for years and would have sworn they’ve developed a close bond with. It in no way works like that.

    Some people like me don't know what a subscriber is.
    Long story, but I don't like computers and the fact that in most cases there is no explanation how to do anything. And if you find something it's confusing because they don't explain enough or assume you know more than you do. Plus , it's a hassle.
