Animals at Work, also called Frisky Business, is a British-Canadian children's television series presented by John Barrowman on CBBC.,[1][2] Discovery Channel, and Primo TV. Each episode features 3 or 4 animals in different parts of the world that do weird jobs.

Legal conflict

In 2012, Merrily Weisbord, who originated the show Dogs with Jobs, sued Cineflix and series producer Glen Salzman in Quebec Superior Court for $400,000 over Animals at Work. Weisbord alleged that the program was a knockoff or sequel of Dogs with Jobs, having the same structure and featuring at least 15 of the same dogs.[3]
