Imitation isn't always a form of flattery

Plagiarism is defined as the misappropriation and thievery of information as one's own at the expense of another's hard work and research.
That is what this documentary is. Do me a favor before watching; Check out "Dogs Decoded", a PBS Nova special released on 9NOV2010. If you feel the desire (as I did) to delve deeper into what makes our best friends tick, follow it up with the "Secret Life of Dogs", released 3 years later. If you watch them back-to-back, you will see that there is a blatant larceny of information and scientific research that is explained better compared to that to that of the latter. I have spent cumulative hours on this website in the past years researching the best movies/television shows to watch, yet this is the first time I felt compelled to register with the site to write what appears to be this special's maiden review. Upon finishing both documentaries, I couldn't help but notice the remarkable similarities in the approach of editing and production. I immediately logged on to this site to determine their production/release dates. Sure enough, my thoughts were on-point and the "secret life of dogs" was clearly an inferior imitation of the higher quality "Dogs Decoded" PBS special released well before.
"Dogs Decoded" provides better production value, better scientific research, and better experts without sacrificing the emotion that you will inevitably feel when viewing.
