Australians love their dogs! So, howl with laughter and be moved to tears when Australia’s Most Talented, Heroic, Athletic, Hardest Working and Oldest dogs are revealed on the new TV series, The Dog Down Under!

Hosted by Lara Shannon, leading Australian dog expert and Host of Channel 10’s Pooches at Play and 7TWO’s Animal SOS Australia, this 5-part series is packed with extraordinary tales of the hard-working hounds and everyday heroes who improve our lives and keep us safe.

Episode 1 - Most Talented, Giotto
Lara travelled the country in a nationwide search to meet the clever canines that are protecting communities, saving lives and bringing people together through a shared love of dogs.


“We were in awe of how dedicated these devoted dogs are to their families and community, and simply amazed by the incredible talents and sporting prowess that so many of them possess,” says Lara.

“From Bunny, the soulful pianist and singer, to Roxy the dog sledding champion, Giotto the skateboarding legend to sweet Phil, our oldest dog, I can’t wait to share their stories and show just how special our four-legged furry friends are.
