Cats v Dogs: Which is Best?(2016)

Cats v Dogs: Which is Best? is a two-part documentary series that pits naturalist Chris Packham against science communicator Liz Bonnin in a spirited debate over humanity's favourite pets. Drawing on cutting-edge global research, the pair investigate the biological, behavioural and evolutionary traits that make cats and dogs uniquely suited to human companionship. Rather than declare a winner, the series examines what each species excels at—from hunting prowess to social bonding—and why the age-old question of superiority may be unanswerable. Packham and Bonnin's playful rivalry frames a genuine exploration of pet science, making the case that both animals have earned their place in our homes and hearts through entirely different paths.
