CESAR MILLAN, DOG WHISPERER People are the ones who change. Dogs are always the same
Apart from being humans’ best, most loyal and oldest friends, many people believe that dogs are actually beings from another planet. One such person is the famous Cesar, who returns to our screens with his new show Better Human Better Dog S ince his early childhood, when he grew up on a poor farm in Mexico, he’s done everything in his power to ensure life on Earth for our furry friends is more beauti- ful and happier. And how he’s done that is best shown in the new docu- mentary show Cesar Millan: Better Man Better Dog, which premieres on the National Geographic WILD channel, on Fridays from 6pm. Over the course of ten episodes, the leg- endary “dog whisperer” teaches new
pet owners who’ve chosen to adopt strays how to welcome them into their homes and find a common lan- guage with them. “Many people make the same mistakes when adopting.

Two decades later, Milan, trav- elling as an emigrant - with no vi- sa, no passport and no knowledge of the English language - crossed the American border and started a new life. Upon arriving in the U.S., he found work in a dog salon, and then as a limousine driver, when he met the woman who would change his life. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith, who starred in The Nutty Professor and the Matrix series, paid for his English language school, thanks to which he was able to establish his Dog Psychology Center. The first ep- isode of the cult show Dog Whis- perer was aired in 2004 and made him a world star. Millan suffered his worst period in 2010. Follow- ing the death of his beloved dog Daddy and the very difficult period that followed, he found strength to carry on in Junior, Daddy’s succes- sor.
