Hey, Animals At Work watchers. Welcome to another great episode. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
All over the planet there are millions of animals that have jobs. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
Aah! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
This is the show that brings you the funniest, coolest | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |

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