With the news of late dominated by the tragic wildfires devastating Los Angeles County this week, we all could use a little pick-me-up, and National Geographic WILD's new series My Best Friend’s an Animal might just be the wholesome watch we need this weekend.
Debuting tonight, January 10 — with two new episodes at 9pm and 10pm Eastern Time on Nat Geo WILD — the heartwarming series "tells the stories of humans who have unlikely, extraordinary friendships with wild animals, featuring six compelling stories per episode and filmed all over the world," reads the show's official synopsis. "The series proves that when it comes to friendship, shape, size, or even species is irrelevant. Respect, trust, and understanding can be found in the most surprising places." For example, in the first ep of the sweet unscripted series, viewers will meet the owners of a chicken, a jumping spider and a mother octopus.
