0:00:02 > 0:00:06Hey, Animals At Work watchers. Welcome to another great episode.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10All over the planet there are millions of animals that have jobs.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Aah!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14This is the show that brings you the funniest, coolest
0:00:14 > 0:00:18and most bizarre Animals At Work.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Coming up.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24A trainee search and rescue dog faces his biggest fear...
0:00:26 > 0:00:29..a turtle shows off his amazing tricks...
0:00:31 > 0:00:37..and the Fanimals judge who is the better dancer - Dad or a dog.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40But now, it's show time.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey, welcome to Animals At Work.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03I'm usually a very brave guy, and I'm not afraid of things, but wooh!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06There's a lot of creepy crawlies around here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Urgh. Yeah, go ahead.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Ahhh!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16That's awesome, really great.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18You can have him back now.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Now, a story about another brave critter, Jip,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24the firefighting puppy.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Where's your bathroom?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Our first talented animal lives in Liverpool in the UK.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Meet Jip, a young friendly pup who's training
0:01:43 > 0:01:47to be a search and rescue dog for the Fire Brigade.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50MUSIC: "Fire" by Kasabian
0:01:53 > 0:01:55He lives with his trainer, Jo.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58This is Jip, he's an Australian kelpie,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02he's one and he started search and rescue training a month ago.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04We've six months of intensive training to go
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and hopefully he'll then pass an assessment
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and work for Merseyside Fire and Rescue.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13But first, he must pass his most important assessment.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Five weeks from today...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20..will determine if training should continue.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So Jip's got to focus.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The Fire Brigade uses dogs to help find people
0:02:26 > 0:02:28in burning and collapsed buildings.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Search and rescue dogs are very important.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35If someone is trapped under rubble, we don't know where to dig.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39They could be anywhere and it would take days to find them, if at all.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Dogs can find people much quicker using their super sniffing powers.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46They can locate odours at concentrations
0:02:46 > 0:02:48nearly 100 million times
0:02:48 > 0:02:49lower than a human can.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54But search and rescue dogs need to have more than just a good nose.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57They need to be fearless and confident
0:02:57 > 0:03:01and unfortunately, Jip is a pooch who's easily spooked.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03At first, Jip was very nervous.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06He wouldn't walk with a lead or go upstairs.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08He was scared of his own shadow.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Jip's become a bit braver during training,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but still suffers from nerves when the pressure is on.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18You can tell that he's not confident from his body language.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21His tail will be tucked under,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23his ears go back and he may cower.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Jip is an Australian kelpie.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29They were bred in Australia for herding sheep,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32and have lots of qualities the fire service look for.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Kelpies are excellent working dogs,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38they love to work all day and have lots and lots of energy.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41But if this nervous pup can't overcome his fears,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44he'll never achieve his dream
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- of joining the fire brigade. - SIRENS BLARE
0:03:47 > 0:03:52He needs to discover the fearless hero inside him.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55And Jip has some big heroes to look up to.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00He lives and trains with two of the top dogs in the country -
0:04:00 > 0:04:03his work buddies, Jake and Zak.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Jake is...
0:04:04 > 0:04:05and Zak is...
0:04:05 > 0:04:09They're Border collies and trained search and rescue dogs.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Jip wants to be like them,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14follow in their footsteps and be a good search dog.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Jake is due to retire at the end of the year.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's Jo's hope that Jip can step into his firedog boots.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25But that's a long way off yet, and Jip has a lot of work to do.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28His first assessment is just around the corner
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and it's time to knuckle down.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Today, Jip is learning the very basics of searching for someone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Officers use Jip's favourite toy, a tennis ball,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and encourage him to chase it and hunt.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45When he barks, they reward him with the ball.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Once Jip's got the hang of this, things go to the next level.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We're now going to perform a run away.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Lee will show Jip the ball, run into the bushes,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and we'll send Jip off with the find command.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59He'll find him, bark and get rewarded with the tennis ball.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Jip!- OK, go, go, go. - Here he goes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Remember, Jip has to find the officer and call for the ball.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Find!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14JIP BARKS
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Good work, Jip! But that's only the beginning.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22This is the first step. The next stage for Jip
0:05:22 > 0:05:25will be for somebody to run away without a ball.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Jip may have passed but he's still not quite the model student.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32This is his favourite game. He won't give the ball back.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37As soon as they get close, he'll get up and run off again. Like that!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Jip, you cheeky pup, stop clowning around,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42things are about to get serious.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Call 3-2, go to Broadgreen Hospital, collapsed building.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54The fire station is running a major training exercise,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58the dogs don't know it's a drill and Jip is coming along for the ride.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03The building behind us has suffered a significant structural collapse,
0:06:03 > 0:06:08we're going to go in with Jake on a canine search.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Jake's been sent in to find four firefighters
0:06:11 > 0:06:12pretending to be casualties.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Jip, wait.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Jip has to wait outside to observe how the pros do it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Jake uses his nose to locate casualties,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- and barks when he finds someone. - JAKE BARKS
0:06:24 > 0:06:27The officers mark it on the map,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31so the firemen can come in and rescue them.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34JAKE BARKS
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Jake completed his search, and found all four people.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And Jip's behaviour was encouraging too.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45He was barking when Jake went in.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It's a very good sign that he was barking, he's keen to get in.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53But will Jip ever be as good as this professional pooch?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I've got high hopes for Jip to become a good search dog.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Later, Jip's training escalates,
0:06:59 > 0:07:04and his fears are put to the ultimate test.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16We've been searching the Internet for more amazing animals
0:07:16 > 0:07:18with incredible skills.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Check out this Senegal parrot, showing he's no square.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yes, he's really doing a puzzle.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27This bird's in amazing shape, get it?'
0:07:27 > 0:07:29HE LAUGHS
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's not just today that animals have had jobs.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38In fact, history reveals that in the past,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42they've had even more amazing jobs than today.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44And here are those history's heroes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54At last, Pi!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Hello, I'm Professor John Bumbleman,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02the smartest and most famous animal historian in the world.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06My brilliant brain rivals even the cleverest of creatures,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10and there's been a few of those over the years, let me tell you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Our first brainbox is a chimpanzee.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18During World War I, a German professor, called Wolfgang Kohler,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22employed chimpanzees as his research assistants,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and made some ground-breaking discoveries.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29His star employee was a smart chimp called Sultan.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34The professor would put bananas in hard-to-reach places to see
0:08:34 > 0:08:38if Sultan and his co-workers could work out how to get them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Sultan worked out that he could pile boxes on top of each other
0:08:43 > 0:08:48and use a stick to get the bananas he was so bananas about.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52To make the next lesson harder, the professor hid the boxes and sticks.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This stumped Sultan for a second,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57until he pulled the professor to the centre of the room
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and used him to get at the bananas. What a clever monkey!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Second on our list of animal heroes is Hans,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08an exceptionally bright horse, who could do sums.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Hans and his boss, toured Germany in the early 1900s,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15showing everyone Hans' maths skills.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18His boss would read out a sum,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21and Hans would tap out the answer with his hoof.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27He could do addition, subtraction, multiplication and even division.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30No-one could work out how he did it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Until Oskar Pfungst, a scientist,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35set out to investigate.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39He discovered Hans couldn't do sums when blindfolded.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Turns out clever Hans wasn't actually doing the sums,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but watching people's reactions
0:09:44 > 0:09:48and stopped tapping when he got to the right answer.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So while Hans wasn't very good at sums,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53he was still a very clever horse.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Next, allow me to reveal some real "smarty pants".
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Here they are.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Just a little joke. Now, where was I? Oh, yes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Here's a story of a very clever doggy detective. Woof-woof!
0:10:04 > 0:10:09The Greyhound of Montargis witnessed his master's murder
0:10:09 > 0:10:11in 15th-century France.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14But this mastermind mutt wasn't about to let his murderer
0:10:14 > 0:10:17get away with it. He had a plan.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19He ran to his master's friend's house
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and led him to the master's body.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Then found the murderer and proceeded to attack him.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28King Charles V of France, heard about the incident,
0:10:28 > 0:10:33and ordered a trial by combat, dog versus murderer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38The dog won. The murderer confessed and was sent to the gallows.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42For his genius detective brain, the Greyhound of Montargis
0:10:42 > 0:10:45is our cleverest history's hero.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49And so concludes this week's history's heroes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Ow! That wasn't too clever, was it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Ow! First Aid, please!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59And now, let's head back to Liverpool in the UK.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06One year old Australian Kelpie, Jip, is training for his dream job,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10to become a search and rescue dog for the fire brigade.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16When I first got Jip,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20he didn't tick any of the boxes that you would expect
0:11:20 > 0:11:24from a search and rescue dog, but there was just something about him.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Jip's been training hard to prove himself to Jo, but he needs
0:11:28 > 0:11:32to toughen up a little bit if he wants any chance of success.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36He is very strong-minded, strong-willed
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and does tend to do his own thing a lot.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39As an Australian Kelpie,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Jip's got a natural leg-up in the agility department,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45but that's not enough to succeed.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49They need to be fearless and confident, which Jip isn't yet.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52High pressure situations make him nervous.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54He'll have to get over his fears
0:11:54 > 0:11:58if he has any hope of taking over from rescue dog hero, Jake,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00who is retiring soon.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Today's a big day for Jip. It's the beginning of his advanced training.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06In five weeks, he'll be meeting...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13..who'll decide if Jip has what it takes to continue training,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15by watching how he performs
0:12:15 > 0:12:16on this rubble pile.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19This is the terrain dogs normally work on.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Jake and Zak are used to collapsed buildings
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and the hazards that go with that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27This rubble pile here simulates that.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Jip will have to find someone posing as a casualty,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34hidden in the rubble, so he has to get familiar with the terrain
0:12:34 > 0:12:37if he is to pass his upcoming test.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Today, Jip needs to observe and express interest in the task,
0:12:42 > 0:12:47by watching old pros Jake and Zak navigate the rubble.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50They're handling it like true experts.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It's quite an arduous terrain for them.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Jake needs to watch the older boys manoeuvre,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58so he can do it next time.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Jip's doing well. He's really excited about the rubble pile.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Next time he's here, he'll get his chance.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09His next test isn't going to be easy. He has to face...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11the crane!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15He's going to go up in the crane,
0:13:15 > 0:13:20and we'll raise him 10 or 12 foot. If he's OK we'll take him higher.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's crucial Jip can handle heights like this
0:13:23 > 0:13:27if he's going to join the Fire Brigade.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31He's never done it before. He'll wear a special harness.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35It's the first time he's put it on, so this is new to him as well.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39He'll be attached to the cage so it's absolutely safe for him.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The crane is safe, but just to reassure Jip,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45old pro Jake will go first.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48He's going up the full height, about 100 foot.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52And Jip's going to watch on, and hopefully he will do the same.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55MUSIC: Superman Theme
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Now would you look at that!
0:14:02 > 0:14:07All the way up to 33m and Jake is cool, calm and collected.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11With Jake safely back down to Earth, it's Jip's turn.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14But will he be able to handle it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Jip seems to be having a spot of trouble getting on board the lift.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Come on, Jip, be brave!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Come on. Oh, good boy!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25This will be very strange for Jip.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29He hasn't done it before and he's not used to any heights whatsoever.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So we'll start off gradually,
0:14:32 > 0:14:33maybe 10 to 15 foot.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34And see how he goes.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36If he's OK with that,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38perhaps take him a bit higher.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39That's it, Jippy, good work!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Try it a bit higher? - A little bit higher?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45OK, we're going to take it a little bit higher.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49He's shaking a bit now.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Oh, no, Jip's nerves are getting the better of him.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah, take him down now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58This is as high as we'll take Jip for his first time.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01He started to get shaky when we started to go higher,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03so we'll leave it for today.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Jip's done OK by trying the crane, but he failed to manage his nerves,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and started to fall apart just 3m above the ground.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16He's got to make it 11 times higher to the full height of 33m
0:15:16 > 0:15:22if he is to pass his training and officially join the Fire Brigade.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Later on, Jip goes head to head with...
0:15:27 > 0:15:31..and the rubble pile and reattempts the dreaded crane.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35SCREAMING
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Hi, I'm John Barrowman... Oh, hello. I'm just practising my lines,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48because all world-class presenters need to practise their lines.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Watch this. Hi, I'm Bohn Bubbleman.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Who writes this rubbish anyway?
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'm not worried about that.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm worried about that furry thing playing tricks on me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You know who I'm talking about? The cheeky monkey!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09There's no way I'm going to let him play pranks on me,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm smarter than he is, I'm bigger than he is
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and I'm better-looking than he is.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- More orange juice, Mr Barrowman? - Oh, yeah, right. Ha-ha.(!)
0:16:19 > 0:16:22He's probably put some camel pee in here
0:16:22 > 0:16:25or gorilla sweat or orang-utan poo.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Actually, it smells a lot like orange juice.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Yeah, top me up, go ahead, real awesome!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Wardrobe!
0:16:42 > 0:16:46And now we're off to Plantation, Florida, in the USA.
0:16:57 > 0:17:0233 year old Florida, is a three toed box turtle.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05He's a good listener and a real sweetheart,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08which is what makes him such a great child psychologist.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12A child psychologist helps kids deal with their troubles,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and for the last 20 years,
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Florida has been working alongside licensed psychologist Dr Mitch.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23They help children get over worries or emotional problems.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Florida likes to help them come out of their shells,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and overcome fears and anxiety.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You can do anything, right?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And if a turtle can do anything, so can any child. Right?
0:17:35 > 0:17:40Florida has got some unusual techniques to help children relax.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42He does tricks, he does...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55He can even high-five!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I met Florida in a pet shop and we established eye contact.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03He watched me, I watched him, and he came home that day.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07It's very unusual for turtles
0:18:07 > 0:18:08to hold eye contact with someone.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10His brain is the size of a pea
0:18:10 > 0:18:14and yet he communicates better than a lot of people.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17This talented turtle helps kids build their confidence,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20he helps them to focus their attention,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23he can also help them to overcome nightmares
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and even face a fear of swimming.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28# Splish splash I was taking a bath. #
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Today, Florida is working with a special client,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34so he needs to get ready to look his very best.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38First, he takes a quick shower
0:18:38 > 0:18:41but this beauty regime doesn't stop here.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45His shell and his skin gets moisturised.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Leaving him looking lovely and ready for work.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52We're going to have a good day today and help children.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54PHRRT! Good boy.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Florida just let loose on my hand. I need a towel.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Mmm, perhaps he's not so ready after all.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Sometimes he'll hide in his shell.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04But then he'll come back out. There he is.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06CHILDREN: Hi, Florida!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Florida's meeting with nine-year-old Ariana,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11who's having nightmares.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Hi, guys. - She's here with her sisters.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Florida is one of my best animal friends.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Ariana's hit a wall in dealing with her troubles.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23She can't seem to break through.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Remember how shy you were when you started here?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Florida's going to show her how to break through walls. Literally.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36The message being, if he can do it, she can do it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39MUSIC: "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Has Florida's message made an impact on Ariana?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Do you think I learned a lot from you? Yes!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well, Florida, it's true what they say,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05good things do come in small packages.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06High-five, baby.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13And now,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I think the dog will be pretty good.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45I don't know, I haven't ever seen a dog dance,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49if you can understand his moves or know what he's doing.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Dancing for the dads are three fathers
0:20:56 > 0:20:58with very different credentials.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24The best dad will face off against Gwen,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26in a dad/dog dance-off.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28No problem, right, dads?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35What the dads don't know is that Gwen does this for a living.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39She regularly dances in competitions with her trainer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43First, the dads warm up. Their old bones can get pretty stiff!

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Dad number one, Ben, has the best score.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Number one was smiling and he wasn't sloppy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34He was really dancing with purpose.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So now it's time to find out who's the better dancer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Dad number one, Ben, versus Gwen, the golden retriever.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58He seems to have won the judges' favour.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02He was pretty good, he had his lines.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I can't wait to see the dog!

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Too bad we can't say that much for dads.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01And finally, let's go back to Liverpool in England.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Jip, the Australian Kelpie,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07faces the most important day of his career.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Today, THE ASSESSOR is coming to see if Jip has what it takes
0:24:12 > 0:24:16to become a search and rescue dog for the Fire Brigade.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Hopefully you'll see a difference from five weeks ago.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23To succeed, Jip has to face his fear of heights.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Take him down, he's shaking a bit now.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29But first,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32he has to pass the rubble pile test.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The game is hide and seek.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38That's basically the game the dog's been taught.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42It's vital Jip shows he can find someone buried in rubble.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46He's got to use his nose only to locate the casualty.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50If Jip does not perform well today, his dream of being a hero is over.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Jip's led away while the test is set up.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Jo's going to pretend to be the missing casualty.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03She is hidden under the rubble, just like a real search and rescue.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Right, Adrian, get Jip, please.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Find!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11There he goes. Good luck, Jip!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Uh-oh, Jip's gone the wrong way!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Woo! He's back on track. Careful with your footing.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- What's this? - JIP BARKS
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And he's done it, yes! Congratulations, Jip!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31He is very agile on his feet. The speed he's working at is ideal.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35He's getting more confident. Very pleased with him.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Jip's success on the rubble
0:25:36 > 0:25:39means he's still got a shot at being a hero.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43But he has one last test he must face today.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It's THE CRANE!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Remember, he failed this last time.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58He's made it into the cage. It's going well so far.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Smooth as silk, this pup is standing steadfast and true!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14At 33 metres!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16We're at full height now, which is 33m.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Jip is on top of the world.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Jip seems fine, he's just looking at everything down below.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25He seems to be dealing with it very well.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28MUSIC: "Heroes" by David Bowie
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And, he's cool as a cucumber as he comes down.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44It's the end of a great day.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48With his success on the rubble pile and the crane,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Jip is well on his way to getting certified
0:26:50 > 0:26:55as an official search and rescue dog for the Fire Brigade.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Congratulations, Jip!
0:26:57 > 0:27:01You've searched and found your true calling. You're a future hero.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08You know, I was kind of worried about our relationship.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I thought you were going to be like all female spiders,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and you were going to eat me, urgh, if you were hungry.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18But you were really nice and I think I've made a new friend.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22So here's a big hand to you.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24See you later, sweetie.
