Don't know if anyone had a chance to see this (I've never watched this program before).  I recorded it on "on demand" and watched it just last night.  First half was about animals "in the news" (interest generated from the Time magazine article).  Was curious to see what they were going to do on Alex as well as on Kanzi (they've published no papers in two years.)
 
Second half, sadly not advertised/promoted beforehand, was about supporting Animal Shelters and Rescues!  Lisa Ling even briefly mentioned SF's proposed Pet Shop Live Animal Sales Ban.  (Has anyone reached out to that camp?)
