Mike Loades discovers the wonderful dogs of the Age of Revolutions. Each one opens a window on this fascinating era of great change, in society, agriculture and industry.

Mike works with the sheep dogs that helped drive animals in the agricultural revolution; the giant Newfoundlands that supported the fisheries of the New World; the foxhounds and lap dogs of the upper classes and the coach dogs that kept high speed transport safe. Famous humans in this story include George Washington and the Empress Josephine, but it is the dogs that take centre stage as Mike herds, drives and is even rescued by them, bringing his canine knowledge to their remarkable story.

We worked with some wonderful organisations and locations in the making of this film. Follow these links to their websites etc.
