Underdogs

UNDERDOGS follows three minimum-security prisoners as they care for and train homeless dogs with behavioral issues that have made them, until now, unadoptable. Through positive reinforcement training, a method that uses clear and consistent communication, the lives of both the inmates and the dogs are changed. DUIs, drug use, embezzlement, and other non-violent offenses landed these minimum-security inmates in county jail. This half-hour documentary explores the inmates' journey back to society, and follows the path of four strays toward their forever home.

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds
