Television program — I usually stick to events only for this calendar, but I’m interested in watching this show so I thought I’d let all of you know about it too. At 10 p.m., Animal Planet will host “Animal Planet Investigates: Gang Dogs.” The show is an investigative look at how gangs continually corrupt their canine comrades to fit into their abusive culture and promote their way of life. I imagine it will be an eye-opening show. Animal Planet might be sending me some video clips from the show and if they do, I’ll be sure to post them.
