Join Sarah Jones as she begins her journey to meet some of the legendary working dogs across Australia.

In our very first episode, Sarah visits the team from the Middle Island Penguin Project and gets to meet SEVEN of the wonderful Maremmas that protect the Little Penguins of Middle Island off the coast of Warrnambool, as made famous by the movie Oddball.

For more information on the Middle Island Maremmas visit - www.warrnamboolpenguins.com.au/

When staying in Warrnambool, our cast and crew chose to stay at the Deep Blue Hotel & Hot Springs, find more here - thedeepblue.com.au/

=================================================================================

They're working "Ca-Nine to Five" - Dog Jobs focuses on the different types of dogs who perform a job of significance, brightening the lives of the people and environment that surrounds them.

Did somebody say wholesome?!

The first series will be hosted by comedian/ventriloquist and zoo employee, Sarah Jones, and will look to tell positive and heart-warming stories of working dogs all across the country.

Episode one looks at the wonderful Middle Island Maremma's that work to protect the rare Little Penguins that inhabit the island off the coast of Warrnambool (the subject of the 2015 Australian film Oddball).

Airing on C31 Melbourne and elsewhere across Australia in 2020.

    watched this with my maremma, we both enjoyed it. The most amazing and love filled breed of dog. When they are described as untrainable it's very unfair, what I found is that the proud and intelligent maremma quietly finds a way to fit into the lifestyle of your family and community. I live in a housing community in a regional area and the tenants are all either elderly or invalids in some way, my maremma is so aware of who is fragile and who is fit and greets them accordingly. She seems totally aware of her size and never leaps about and even wags her tail gently when indoors visiting a neighbour, it's so good to share your life with a dog that is welcomed happily everywhere you take her. Perhaps my girl is an exception to a rule but she hated living on a farm and since we've moved to a small country town she is so relaxed, content and friendly. I love my maremma.
  • My brother visited and bought home a little statue of the dogs. Brilliant idea. Thanks for caring for the penguins.
  • I love that the dog's name is Oberon. After all, he has a job protecting fairy penguins.
  • What a fantastic project! When international travel can resume safely this will definitely be in my list of places to visit!
  • A very enjoyable, uplifting video.Thank you so much for posting.

    I think that's why the movie oddball was made

    They come from Mid-Southern Italy, not Northern. In fact the real name of the breed is pastore abruzzese-maremmano, referring to the Abruzzo region, while maremma was the general name of marshy areas near the sea (which is the reaso why in Tuscany there is a Maremma area too).
  • They are "Pastori Maremmani" from central Italy, an area called Maremma :)
  • What about the Awsome bloke Swampy Marsh who donates the pup's & is the person solely behind this conservation idea.

    Just curious what all this costs. Just the food is $10,000/year. Thanks to all the wonderful sponsors!
