From PBS - My Wild Affair tells the moving stories of animals that formed an unlikely bond with a human by the people whose lives were changed forever. In a profoundly moving journey, they put their experiences into perspective. With unique access to home movies, film, and TV archives the stories span the decades from the 1950s to 1980s, and shine new light on the very different attitudes of a previous age. These rare relationships cross the divide between our species and provide a glimpse of the inner life of the creatures who share our world. Each animal's story is a lesson from the recent past with the power to change our modern view of their species.
