No doubt inspired by The Dog House (both UK and Australian versions) on 10. Although the show is shot in 4K, Aussie viewers will miss out on seeing the finished product in 4K unless it is released on a streaming platform. ---

Wonder if this will air in primetime or in one of their weekend afternoon time slots? Again Nine are pumping out factual after factual which seems to be their theme these days along with renovation, dating and lifestyle. ---

Why does it always seem like the networks copy each other, why are we suddenly getting all these primetime pet shows? Interesting that they’ve gone with a SA based Animal League, not the usual NSW/VIC ones. Also that it mentions it’s shot in 4K, I would’ve thought this was the norm now? ---

Whoever wrote this info isn’t a local .Wacol is between Brisbane and Ipswich,it’s right on the border of the Brisbane City Council area and Ipswich City Council It’s a Brisbane suburb though.
