Animal House - Series Four, Episode One

In this episode of popular series Animal House, the SPCA inspectors are going to great lengths to save animals from danger. A limping peacock is found hiding in a central suburb driveway, a dog is kayaked out from an imminent drowning, and a cagey cat is rescued from an abandoned house in Manurewa. Moving moments include an owner being reunited with her beloved 18-year-old dog, and SPCA Inspector Kevin Plowright temporarily adopting a rescued yorkshire terrier, whom he later dubs Crikey. Animal House, after being aptly renamed SPCA Rescue, was named Best Observational Documentary at the 2012 NZ TV Awards. 

We've called him Crikey.
