A: During the introduction, we are introduced to the pups and the couple who had saved them. We are also informed specifically where and when the pups had been found. The man begins to talk about how shocked he was that a person would do such a thing.

Q: Most likely "sources" are used in the report and they are making comments or being quoted. Name two of them.
A: Ken France - "I can't get my head around why somebody would of done that they always wanted to get rid of the dogs."
Genevieve Sabourin - "I started looking I said what the hell you know and I saw like the end of probably the nails you know and i could see two spots on his head."

Q: Based on what these two sources say, what questions do you think they were asked? Create two questions for each source that you feel they were probably asked.
A: To Ken France - "How did you react when you had found the pups?"
To Genevieve Sabourin - "When did you notice the nails?"

Q: Identify two diffrent types of "B-roll" in the video
A: One example of "B-roll" in the video is that they had showed the nail that was found in the mother dog's head along with an x-ray of the dog. Another example of "B-roll" in the video was that they showed the couple playing with their own dogs, this showed viewers watching the video that the couple had a huge love for animals.

Q: What are two other types of B-roll footage that you think they could have used (consider what is being said in the voice overs)?
A: Other B-roll footage I think they could of used is shots of the puppies with their new owners. Another B-roll footage that could have been used is what the couple had found when they went back for a second look.
