“This series celebrates the wonderfully unique characteristics and attributes of the most popular dog and cat breeds, and features first-hand accounts,” said Marjorie Kaplan, president and general manager, Animal Planet Media.

Dogs have the courage to chase lions, the dignity to sit at the feet of royalty and some claim even the smarts to read—they are often considered to be man’s best friend.  With more than 150 dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, DOGS 101 spotlights the adorable, the feisty and the unexpected.

Does the St. Bernard have a sixth sense for predicting avalanches?  Can the Whippet see in the dark?  Which breed is still used today as a life guard?

DOGS 101 uncovers surprising details about everyone’s favorite dog breeds from the Airedale Terrier to the Yorkie.  Learn which dog breeds are best for urban living and which ones are most family friendly. Using a mix of animal experts, the personal stories of pet owners and stylized dog photography, DOGS 101 is an unprecedented look at man’s best friend. CATS 101 takes you inside the most popular feline breeds. From the nearly naked Sphinx to the adorable Scottish Fold, CATS 101 is a catalogue of the fascinating reasons we love cats.
