From bomb-sniffing dogs to livestock herders, Animals at Work does an incredible job of capturing the life of these animals and the work they do.

Each episode of the series takes a distinct animal and explores its life and work. The show covers the working horses of Central Park, which have a long history of a long association with New York City life. The episode examines the care of these horses, who pull carriages across the city.

Another episode takes viewers to South Carolina, where dogs help track down criminals and uncover evidence. This episode showcases how these animals are trained and how they work alongside law enforcement professionals to fight crime.

In one of the most remarkable episodes of the series, Animals at Work gives an inside look into the lives of guide dogs for the blind. The episode showcases how these dogs are trained, how they guide visually impaired people through life and how they create unbreakable bonds with their owners.

The series also showcases the role of dolphins, which are notably intelligent creatures with a unique ability to teach humans about the underwater world. Animals at Work explores how these animals work for the military by detecting underwater mines, thereby clearing the path for naval ships.

The show doesn't only focus on domestic animals, but also examines the role of wild animals in our society. In one episode, the series takes viewers to Canada, where moose are used to transport timber from logging sites. The episode explores the training moose undergo to prepare them for this significant task.

The production team's efforts are evident throughout the series, as they make sure that all animals are treated ethically and humanely. They also ensure that the audience gets a real sense of what life is like for these animals working in their respective fields.
