Puppy love: Finnish 24-hour newborn pup livestream is TV smash hit

A Finnish TV show, Pentulive, features a dog and her six puppies, attracting millions of viewers with 24-hour live coverage. The show includes live chats, podcasts, and updates on the puppies' growth over eight weeks. This sixth season is part of the 'slow TV' trend that began in Norway. The format has gained international interest, now airing in Sweden and sold to a Dutch broadcaster. The puppies, named by viewers, provide comfort and joy amidst global challenges, according to the show's creator, Pirjo Koskinen, who emphasizes the educational aspect of the program.
