Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this series underscores the positive role an animal can have in a person's healing and/or well-being. The series contains lots of positive messages, but many of the stories told here deal with traumatic events (including 9/11), death, and addiction, and may be too intense for younger and/or sensitive viewers.

What's the story?
SAVED is a six-part documentary that shows how animals can help people cope with and/or overcome some of life's most difficult challenges. Each episode features people from all walks of life discussing a time in their lives when they were coping with very difficult circumstances, like post-traumatic stress disorder, drug addiction, and the loss of loved ones. They then share how animals specifically played a role in helping them cope, heal, and/or find happiness.
Is it any good?
QUALITY
This poignant series shows the deep connections some people have with their animals, and how these connections impact their lives and the lives of those around them. It also demonstrates how animals can play a direct and powerful role in human healing.
Some of the stories featured here, especially those dealing with the loss of loved ones on September 11 and during the war in Iraq, are very emotional. The images and drawn-out descriptions of these traumatic experiences can make it difficult to watch. But if you can move beyond this, what you will find are positive messages about animals, recovery, and healing.
