Many people get pets when they’re in a relationship or they are living with someone. Then they break up or move out and have to figure out who gets custody of the pet-- just like they would have to figure out if they had a human child together. But your pet can’t talk and the court system in most states doesn’t really account for this relationship so it can get very, very messy and expensive. This series is about someone who figured out a way to help, but she’s also a complete mess herself. Think Judge Judy meets the Dog Whisperer.According to The American Pet Products Association, spending on pets in 2018 was $72 billion and millennials are the primary pet owning demographic. Millennials watch more online TV than traditional TV. It’s time for a hit online series that gets at the heart of the quirky relationship between pet parents and their animals.
