DogTV, the first TV channel (频道) for dogs, appeared in America twelve years ago. Now it is available in 14 countries, including China.
In the beginning, DogTV wasn’t made for dogs. The idea of making this kind of TV program came from a man called Ron Levi. To let his own cat Charlie have fun while he wasn’t at home, Ron worked with scientists and pet experts to make a TV program for cats. To their surprise, dogs showed more interests in those programs than cats. Gradually, the program was developed into a channel—DogTV.
DogTV is used to cheer and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It plays interesting videos and light music. Each program lasts about 3 to 6 minutes and the programs change from time to time. In the morning, the programs may help to get the dogs out of bed. At noon, programs are shown to make the dogs happy because they may feel lonely at home. Usually, dogs are afraid of cars or loud noise. So DogTV makes some programs with pictures and sounds to help dogs get used to them. The channel even has educational programs on health.
When making the programs, DogTV invited some animal experts to make suitable shows for dogs’ seeing and hearing. Dogs can only see blue, yellow and grey. So the sounds and colors of the programs are different from those for humans. They’re a little strange but interesting. Are you ready to enjoy them with your pet?
