Luke Hura has built a successful career in the film industry doing something that people generally advise against. working with animals.
For over 40 years, Luke Hura has coaxed screen worthy performances out of pigs, birds, dogs, and even cats.
His furry, fluffy and feathery charges have appeared in films such as Red Dog and television series well known to Kiwi audiences like Kath & Kim, The Flying Doctors and McLeod's Daughters.
One of Australia's leading Animal Film Trainers, Luke also trains animals for the stage ... where they literally have to be one-take wonders.
