Few people can resist the dramatic pull of stories that explore the emotional nexus between people and animals.
The stories collected for the special "Ichioku-sanzenman-nin ga Nakeru (130,000,000 People can Cry)" (Nihon TV, Monday, 7 p.m.) are all true and involve the "miracle" of inexplicable bonds that can exist in such relationships.
The most famous of these tales is the one about the seeing-eye dog that led its blind owner down from the 78th floor of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
