In the Womb Dogs

Opening a window on the amazing journeys of the wolf, the common ancestor of all dogs; the Mastiff; the Retriever; and the tiny Chihuahua.

From the makers of the critically acclaimed In the Womb series Rocket Rights presents In the Womb - Dogs. Made for Channel 4 and National Geographic Channel, this film uncovers the incredible journeys of the ancestral wolf and three very different dog breeds as they develop in the womb: the Neapolitan mastiff, descended from the fearsome guard and fighting dogs of Ancient Rome; the Golden retriever, a dog bred in the 19th century by a Scottish aristocrat to retrieve game birds during shooting parties; and todays popular lapdog, the Chihuahua, the worlds smallest breed.

About 15,000 years ago the gray wolf evolved into mans best friend. Early humans managed to domesticate the wolf and turn it into the most diverse species on the planet. These individual journeys from conception to birth mirror the millennia of evolution and human intervention that turned the wolf into a dog.

Extraordinary shapes and extraordinary skills and even distinct personalities.

A 15,000 year journey, relived in just 63 days in the womb.

Scientifically accurate models and computer animation.. reveal these extraordinary stories of life before birth
