41 Dogs in a 3-Bed Semi

October 2015 •English

There are estimated to be 71 million pets in Britain today, and 45% of households now own at least one. However, for some, one is nowhere near enough. In this documentary, we learn all about their lifestyle and witness the effect it has on their lives and relationships. In this remarkable film, we reveal Britain's most staggering animal obsessives and witness what happens when animal obsessions get out of hand.... the animosity, the relationship breakdowns, the risk of losing everything and the tales of people who love animals so much they collect dozens of them in their homes. Lynn loves her pet dogs so much she shares her semi-detached home with 41 of them. We meet Britain's Got Talent performer Steve and his 60 animals, there's dog enthusiast Emmie who's so devoted to her 12 pets that she has spent £60,000 on pampering them – with two hounds even getting hitched and Mary's small house is overrun with cats.
