Twisted Tales 204: The Dog
Synopsis:
Twisted Tales journeys across time and space, following the evolution of our relationship with animals through different ages and cultures. Is the dog really man's best friend?; We think they are loyal, trustworthy, selfless, courageous and noble, but we're wrong. Dogs are con-artists, the ultimate social parasite. We throw billions of dollars at our pampered pets and don't seem to realise just how weird the relationship between human and dog really is. When it comes to dogs, almost nothing is as it seems.
