Description
Auf Wiedersehen, My Pet sees pet owners who, for genuine reasons, have had to make the tough decision to give up their beloved animals, matched with a trio of potential new owners, all desperate to offer their pet a loving home. The current owners may be changing job, moving country or for medical reasons can no longer give their pet the love and attention they deserve, and want to have first-hand input into their future.
Each programme will focus on one fluffy pet, and their owner, as they are given the chance to meet their potential new masters, and have a good look around the places they may soon be calling home. With invaluable help and advice from a number of animal rehoming experts and charities, cameras will follow all the tears of goodbye, and joy of a new beginning, as lives are transformed by pets.
This series’ success is pinned on the believability of the reason the pet is being given up, and going along for the ride on that journey because we feel it is in the best interests of the pet for whatever reason. A more light-hearted snooping in the houses and into the potential new owners lives and the ‘it’s a better for the pet’ type bitter, but mostly sweet ending. The tone is touching, amusing, heart-warming and an emotional journey.
