We discussed that it was a shame rescue dogs weren’t used for this job and we then had a spark of an idea. Realscreen chatted with Mansfield and Plumb, head of factual entertainment at Plimsoll and EP, about the inspiration behind the series and why they decided to bring it to the U.S.
Mansfield, Karen Plumb, Lauren Girion serve as executive producers for Plimsoll, while Keith Hoffman serves as executive producer for Animal Planet. The six-part series follows the process as trainers and service dog recipients work together to harness rescue dogs’ strengths and “turn them into true super heroes.”Īccording to Grant Mansfield, CEO and founder of Plimsoll Productions and EP on the series, Rescue Dog to Super Dog is a series with a heart and purpose, which for Plimsoll, is the “sweet spot” in this genre.
