Genre: Reality-TV
In the premiere of a reality series following the work of a veterinarian in the 49th state, Dr. Dee Thornell treats an aging border collie and a disabled Siberian husky, and takes to the skies as a new pilot to tend to animals above the Arctic Circle.
Dee flies to a remote village to do a spay and neuter clinic at a coin laundry; and assists with the difficult birth of a calf at one of the largest cattle ranches in the state.
Dee checks on a black bear that just woke up from hibernation; a routine cattle castration takes a dangerous turn; a radio station joins a campaign to find a home for a special-needs dog.
A horse castration becomes dangerous; Dee's dog may have a neurological problem; a possible case of animal neglect may not be what it seems.
A feisty miniature horse is a difficult patient; a large horse has a potentially deadly problem; a new pig farmer learns how to castrate piglets; a dog needs a forever home.
Dr. Dee and her team attempt to accomplish the extraordinary as they helicopter rescue a wounded horse from the wilderness. Dr. Dee also cares for a Husky mix hit by a truck and trailer, and investigates the cause of a bearded dragon's long slumber.
