ANIMALS SOS SO1-EP1 | SOS ANIMAUX | 6ter

From the North to the South of France, we followed the action-packed daily experience of the men and women who speed to the rescue of animals. Treating film star canines with acupuncture or operating on the tiny cheek of a hamster… Missions that are as surprising as they are unpredictable for some extraordinary heroes. Alexandre is a neurosurgeon in Nantes. In the operating theater he relies as much on his instinct as his technical skill to revive this giant Bernese mountain dog. As the owner looks on, he will attempt the impossible: place a prosthesis in the dog’s throat. Stéphanie is a UFO in the animal cause. She’s an expert at improvised solutions who dropped everything to open a sanctuary for… handicapped animals. With 130 animals in her care, every day brings its surprises. In Corsica, Aymeric is often the last recourse for farmers in trouble. Called out to treat a sow in farrow, we spent a harrowing sleepless night at his side. Hours spent giving birth to piglets, while saving the mother. For three months, we followed the heroes who save our animals.
