Tens of thousands of dogs are transported every year from areas with high euthanasia rates to parts of the country with fewer unwanted dogs and a surplus of adopters. Knowing the happy ending for these lucky dogs is only the beginning of the story, FREE PUPPIES. takes a closer look at where they come from. By following dog rescuers throughout rural counties in the Georgia-Alabama-Tennessee tristate area, we see the challenges that lead to dog overpopulation in the first place and the work being done in these communities to overcome them.

Werner Herzog's documentary film about the "Grizzly Man" Timothy Treadwell and what the thirteen summers in a National Park in Alaska were like in one man's attempt to protect the grizzly bears. The film is full of unique images and a look into the spirit of a man who sacrificed himself for nature.

2011年，隨著黑熊研究學者黃美秀及其研究團隊的腳步，攝影團隊翻山越嶺，徒步重裝三天，到達位在玉山國家公園核心地帶的大分「有熊國」；這是一個深刻令人著迷，匯集豐富野生動物生態及布農原住民人文色彩的地方。每年冬天，台灣黑熊會因為大分的青剛櫟林提供了豐富的果實來源，從四面八方地來到此地逗留。 事實上，大分「有熊國」廣為人知得回溯到1998年，當年從美返國進行博士論文的黃美秀在布農耆老的指引、巡山員林淵源的協助下，深入「有熊國」尋熊捉熊。曾經是布農獵人的林大哥，其狩獵技能與對環境熟悉，還有情義濃烈的性格及慷慨施予，使得黃美秀於蠻荒之境尋熊的三年歲月順利開展。2000年結束研究下山之際，林大哥甚或在美秀即將墜崖的生命交關時刻，拉了她一把，救了她。兩人亦師亦友的情誼，自此深植。 黃美秀的黑熊研究揭開了台灣黑熊的神秘面紗，但也揭示台灣黑熊悲情的一面。15隻捕捉繫放的黑熊中，有八隻斷肢或斷掌。時至今日，在攝影團隊的監測攝影下，斷掌熊的苦難未曾改變。試問，我們是否能作些什麼呢？
