Short summary

A Halloween game show in which the contestants were set challenges to obtain keys, which opened boxes containing cash, which they then had to stuff their backpacks before sprinting away from a pack of dogs in order to keep the cash, yeah, real dogs. The show opens with the standard message "The producers would like to thank the families of the participants. No dogs were harmed in the documentation of this event" and your left sit on the edge of your seat waiting to see if one of the participants are harmed as they are set upon by dogs.

The contestants are never actually put in danger. You'll notice that as the show progresses they are given thick leather jackets and gloves for protection against anything in the trials and for protection against the dogs. The dogs are only chasing after the red backpacks the contestants wear as they have all been trained to do so. The contestants are told to lie down and remain still after being caught by the dogs as to make the show seem more real.

The dogs used in the show to chase down the contestants (which is where the show's name derives) are trained by experts to only go only for the bacpacks the contestants are carrying. This keeps the contestants safe while interacting with the dogs.

The dogs featured in the show are specifically trained to retrieve the contestants backpacks.
