Campana travels the world helping animals of all kinds live the best lives they can. He does this by creating prosthetics designed specifically for individual animals in need. Recently Campana met with members of the media, virtually, to discuss his experiences and the show that airs on BYUtv.
Campana showed off his \u201coffice\u201d where he manufactures these devices by using technology, including 3D printing, carbon fiber and thermoplastics. His patients range from small Chihuahuas to giant bull elephants.
\u201cI don\u2019t only make prosthetics for \u2018The Wizard of Paws\u2019 show,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m making about 75 to 100 almost every single week here in my shop in Sterling, Virginia. You can see what we go through, this process: knee braces for dogs, donkey legs, just a whole gamut of different animal species. We work on all different types of animals. It\u2019s never, ever boring.\u201d
His start in the animal prosthesis business was by accident.
\u201cI went to school for human prosthetics. I went to Penn State for kinesiology biomechanics and then I went to Northwestern Medical School for human prosthetics. I started doing this field to help these people and one day a veterinarian actually brought her black Lab named Charles into my office.\u201d
He had never seen any animal with prosthesis so he decided to try it. That was 17 years ago and he hasn\u2019t looked back. Seeing the dog gain mobility gave him a joy he couldn\u2019t describe. To date he has helped almost 30,000 patients.
Campana admitted it is hard not to cry when he sees an animal walk for the first time. He said he \u201ckind of\u201d gets used to it, however, it is evident his heart and soul is in his work and seeing the outcome of his diligence and the happiness in the eyes of the animals is overwhelming.
\u201cThere are so many animals that adapt to (prostheses) immediately, some never adapt to them, and everywhere in between, and that\u2019s so hard to predict. I can\u2019t tell these animals, \u2018Put this leg down, use this leg,\u2019 so it\u2019s very challenging. You can\u2019t force an animal to like something, so I never do, but you\u2019ve got to give it a try. You\u2019ve got to give these animals a chance, and whenever I can get something to work, I love it so much.\u201d
If an animal isn\u2019t secure with the prosthesis, he will try again and again hoping for a good outcome, but in some cases the animal simply isn\u2019t a good match for anything artificial, although he gives it his best effort.
\u201cThe Wizard of Paws\u201d is definitely a \u201cfeel good\u201d show that melts viewers\u2019 hearts. Season two premieres Wednesday.

All of the characters face life-changing experiences during these dramatic episodes.
First, a dead woman\u2019s body is found in a drum of lye. This starts a whirl of emotions for Murdoch who believes it is the body of Anna Fulford, his former lover. Anna, as viewers know, met William Murdoch in England when he had amnesia. They formed a bond and later a romantic relationship. But the crime organization known as the Blackhand has been on her tail with the intention of killing her.
Murdoch had supplied Anna with a fake name and sent her away from Toronto to save her from the syndicate, but now it appears they have caught up with her.
Then William discovers Harry, a young boy who turns out to be his son by Fulford. This is news to Murdoch. Julia decides they must take in young Harry.
As for Inspector Brackenreid, his life is also in turmoil when he is given the order -- or \u201csuggestion\u201d -- to retire when it is discovered he has an illegitimate daughter.
Higgins has a hard time dealing with the emotional hormonal ups and downs of his wife, Ruth, when she is in the final stages of pregnancy. Ruth takes refuge with the Murdochs, which only adds more stress to their situation.
George Crabtree is ready to propose to Effie Newsome. Effie apparently leaves town in a huff after learning of his intentions.
And Watts is in a sensitive quandary when his lover is set to marry.
That about sums up the situations for the characters in this spellbinding season finale. But everything is not what it appears. And as the credits roll ending the season, viewers are left with some interesting circumstances for all of them.
The next season must address the loose ends that have been unraveled in season 14. This is definitely a series that must continue. And when it returns for season 15, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), Dr. Julia Ogden (Helene Joy), Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), Constable George Crabtree (Jonny Harris), Constable Henry Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch), Detective Llewellyn Watts (Daniel Maslany), Ruth Newsome Higgins (Siobhan Murphy), and Effie Newsome (Clare McConnell) will all be front and center as their dramatic storylines continue.
So, was it really Anna Fulford in the drum of lye?

Not wanting to face the ghosts of his beloved late wife, George Turner uproots his two children to make a fresh start in a place that holds good memories from his childhood \u2013 Weld, New Zealand.
George (Erik Thomson) is a columnist for a magazine, and with the Internet, he can write from anywhere. When he was young he used to visit Weld for surfing. His memories of this tiny town are happy ones, which is what he wants to create for his two teenage kids, Shay (Melinda Vidler) and Arlo (Benson Jack Anthony). While neither of them is excited about leaving their home in Sydney, they try to accept the move.
Once they arrive in New Zealand everything goes wrong, from the very first day. It\u2019s one disaster after another. And the kids find it difficult to fit in at their new school.
The town is basically run by one family who owns the majority of the businesses. The people of Weld initially take offense to the newcomers, but soon they are accepted, even though it takes a while for the kids to adjust. There are several single women in the community who take a special interest in George. He\u2019s fresh meat and not bad on the eyes.
The house George purchased, sight unseen, is a wreck. The local handyman, Woody, (Rick Donald), is also the man George turns to for a sympathetic ear. Woody is a fun guy who has his pulse on the town and knows exactly what\u2019s what.
While George told his kids the reason he uprooted them from Sydney and brought them to Weld was for a fresh start, he had an ulterior motive. He wants to surf and this is where he surfed as a kid. But, as viewers soon discover, George really cannot surf. It just takes time, as does settling into their new surroundings and becoming part of this tight-knit community. It really is a close little town. No one can sneeze without everyone hearing about it. There is no privacy, which upsets Shay, but there is also no lack of caring people.
\u201c800 Words\u201d is a show about family. While it also deals with the ups and downs of the different characters of Weld, at the heart is the relationship between George, Shay and Arlo. The three seasons are available to stream on Acorn TV.

It is based on the real events during World War II when Hitler was invading one nation after another to enlarge the Third Reich.
Norway, being a neutral country, should be left alone, but Hitler does not pay any attention to neutrality. The King and Crown Prince Olav (Tobias Santelmann), along with the cabinet flee to London while Crown Princess Martha (Sofia Helin) and their three children take refuge in Sweden with her family.
Martha and her children soon become Nazi targets. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Kyle MacLachlan) comes to their rescue and devises a plan to get them safely to America. Once on American soil they are safe and free, but Martha longs for her husband and is concerned about the people of Norway.
As the days, weeks and months go by, Martha pleads with FDR to find a way to help the allies, even though America is neutral. It is her interference that helps bring America into the war in a \u201clend/lease\u201d situation with the allies without actually committing the country formally to the conflict.
The cast met virtually with members of the media to discuss their characters, the story and history.
MacLachlan was asked about playing FDR.
\u201cI didn\u2019t really look at any previous performances or performers, which is strange for me, because usually the first thing I do is find out what everybody else has done,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, the script was \u2014 everything was really there. The research, for me, was really one of the greatest joys, I\u2019ve got to say. And I relied heavily on the Ken Burns documentary, and also on Doris Kearns Goodwin\u2019s book about the Roosevelts.\u201d
MacLachlan also stated, \u201cAnd the idea of playing Roosevelt was a pretty monumental consideration. I mean, he stands tall among, certainly in American history and among all American presidents. And he\u2019s this amazing personality.\u201d
The actor said he delved into the psychology of FDR to discover why he did what he did.
\u201cHe was very playful and loved a good joke and loved to be, obviously, the \u2014 I won\u2019t say \u2018class clown,\u2019 but he wanted all the attention on him. And (the filmmakers) let me run with that a little bit, which was a lot of fun.\u201d
\u201cI have been thinking a lot about women of that age,\u201d said Helin, \u201chow they were not in the center of politics necessarily, and how she was as royalty, not an official person, but not a political, official person, and how she had to become a political person and politically active, and even do things that she weren\u2019t [sic] allowed to do, almost, in order to save her country.\u201d
Helin is Swedish like the Crown Princess but this story was never taught to the Swedes.
The series will give viewers a new perspective on this time in history and an education about Crown Princess Martha. This is an eight-part series that premiered earlier this week on PBS\u2019 Masterpiece.
