TV Special Explores the Special Bond between People and Pets
Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart™ is a TV special exploring the theme that people and pets make better lives together than apart. Here are the details:
Everyone has a tale to tell. Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart™ is a celebration of our love for our four-legged friends. Pets. Partners. Companions. They answer to many names, play many roles. But whatever we call them, one thing’s certain – they have a special place in our hearts and lives.
Last year’s show included the tales of seven individuals and their four-legged companions. We shared the stories of Debi Stevens and learned how she is honoring Buff’s legacy… Larry King, Jr. and his 40-pound cattle ranching partner Mercy… Veterinarian Curtis Brandt and Taylor… Officer Tony White and his 2 ½ year old partner, Recon… Leesia Teh whose love for Becks led to a new career… World Champion Melissa Heeter’s seven flying dogs… and traveled across the country with Greg Matulionis and his dog scout cadet, Koda.
So far this year, we’ve captured Tales in Atlanta, Seattle, Cincinnati, San Diego, Las Vegas and Phoenix. We’ve met surfing dogs and feline showstoppers; elephants and arson dogs; racing greyhounds and revved up bassets.
More than just a TV show
“Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart™” is a lot of things, including a television special, activities for kids and families, Kroger shopper giveaways and special offers, all centered on the theme that people and pets make better lives together. Purina is sponsoring the program again this year throughout the 16 Kroger divisions around the country.
And this year, Purina and Kroger are doing even more! In 2009, they will contribute $150,000 to animal welfare organizations located in Kroger communities to help them feed pets waiting for their opportunity to share a better life in a permanent home
Awww!!! That sounds like a great show, but since we don’t live in the areas that it plays in, we can’t see it unless some nice purrson puts it on YouTube! Oh yes, it played on WGN America, but it was on SUNDAY, the 15th. .. TWO DAYS AGO!!!!!!
