I watched it last year on Animal Planet, it is a thoroughly enjoyable series.
Luke is a peach, it’s a joy to watch him helping all creatures great and small in a variety of interesting locales. His charity does excellent work in some difficult locations.
I’m glad the show will get wider exposure.
Great news that this is being shown, saw bits of this on You Tube and have been looking forward to seeing the series.
