My dogs Jasper and Holly are so well cared for that I often look at them and say, “I wish I were you”. Given lots of cuddles and treats, they spend all day curled up on my bed without a care in the world. Most dogs today are the same – complete freeloaders. Yes, there are guide dogs and K9s, but the employment opportunities open to dogs now are nothing like those on offer in medieval Europe. Let’s travel back in time to the Middle Ages and find out why dogs were an indicator of social standing, why the church disapproved of them, and just how hard some of them worked? Welcome to Medieval Madness

00:52 For the Love of Dogs
02:25 Cry Wolf
