Cesar Millan’s career is endangered…

The 47-year-old Self-taught dog behaviorist and Dog Whisperer will host The Messenger, a six-part series with a focus on conservationists who work to save the world’s most critically endangered animals.

The Messenger will feature Millan as he ventures to various spectacular natural habitats, turning a spotlight on the triumphs and struggles of conservationists and the critically endangered animals they risk their lives to rescue and rehabilitate.

Millan calls the series “a natural extension of the work I have been doing with dogs… Animals have rights too and we need to respect their natural place in our world.”

Wildlife specialists Boréales and AB Productions produced the original French format and are teaming on the English-language version.

Millan will executive produce.

The original, titled Le Messager, premiered to good ratings on France 3 and Belgium’s AB3 in January this year.
