stern TV Special: Pets – loved and tortured

Big live action: Happy ending for humans and animals on the “Bark Date”?

Cologne. Man and his pet: they are part of the family, like best friends. But what is it that makes having a pet so fascinating? At what point does love for animals sometimes become a problem? And what can be done to stop the cruel trade in puppies? Steffen Hallaschka discusses this and more in “stern TV Spezial” on Thursday, October 10, 10.35 p.m., on RTL, including Martin Rütter, Germany’s best-known dog expert, and veterinarian Doc Polly.

In a large live event, the presenter also helps dogs from animal shelters to have a happy ending: At the “Bark Date”, i.e. speed dating for dogs, humans and animals are supposed to find each other.
