We absolutely LOVE the new Imax film "Born to Be Wild 3D." The movie follows two amazing women, Biruté Galdikas and Daphne M. Sheldrick, as they work rescuing orphaned animals and raising them until they can be released in the wild.

Galdikas and her organization, Orangutan Foundation International, seek to protect the Great Red Apes and their only habitat, the tropical forests of Borneo and northern Sumatra. Sheldrick has been continuing the work of her husband through the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, seeking to save the African wilderness and endangered wildlife. This film focuses on her efforts with baby elephants.

The teams that work with these intrepid women create a foster family for vulnerable babies who've lost their parents to poachers or encroaching civilization. From sleeping with a young elephant so he doesn't get lonely at night to carrying a car-averse rescued orangutan on the back of a motorcycle, these teams take ingenious steps to keep the animals happy. (The trailer above gives you a glimpse into the movie and the featurette below shares even more.)

Here at Paw Nation, we love funny animal videos and we love pet stories. So we hit the streets to ask dogs (and their owners) about everything from how they were adopted to what the naughtiest things they've ever done are. It's our weekly video series, "Pet On The Street."

This week we're in Austin, the town with the motto "Keep Austin Weird," asking owners about the strange things their dogs do.

April showers bring flowers -- eventually -- but at the moment all it is bringing is a lot of muddy paw prints into my apartment. To tackle this problem I've put several items to the test to keep a dirty dog, from leaving a trail of ick throughout my home. Here are my favorites:

This man loves his animals. In addition to being an Oscar-winning actor, Morgan Freeman has recently added his impressive narration skills to the new film "Born to Be Wild 3D," an Imax movie opening April 8th, that follows the work of two amazing women who've dedicated their lives to saving orphaned wildlife. The film cuts between Biruté Galdikas, who rescues orphaned orangutans and eventually returns them into the rainforest of Borneo, and Daphne M. Sheldrick, who adopts orphaned elephants in Kenya and raises them until they can return to the wild as well.

Here Freeman talks with AOL about some of his all-time favorite animals.

This week we're in Chicago asking owners if their dogs are TV hounds.
