In New York City, an area with more than 20 million people, thousands of animals are neglected, abandoned, or mistreated. But now, there are eight guys out to save them all. They are not normal animal activists. Instead, they are tough guys covered in tattoos that ride motorcycles. What bonds them together is their passion for animals and zero tolerance for animal abuse. They call themselves Rescue Ink.

　　In the "Rescue Ink" series, National Geographic Channel follows these eight guys as they try their best to save animals from desperate situations. For the men of Rescue Ink, it is all about getting these animals a second chance at life. They do just that for Spike and Brownie in the episode "Rebels with a Cause." Spike is a dog that has a history of biting, so they must find an experienced trainer to work with him before he can be placed in a new home. Brownie is a dog suffering from a problem that causes him to drag his hindv legs. The guys make a wheelchair for him so that he can live a happier life.

　
在紐約市這個人口超過兩千萬的地區，有數以千計的動物遭到漠視、遺棄或虐待。但如今有八名男子挺身而出，力圖拯救每一隻動物。他們並非一般的動物保育人 士。他們是一群騎著重機、身上佈滿刺青的硬漢。而這群人對動物的熱愛，以及對虐待動物這種行為的難以容忍，就是將他們聯繫在一起的原因。他們稱自己為 Rescue Ink。

　　在《動物救難隊》這一系列節目中，國家地理頻道跟隨著這八名男子，看他們盡全力去拯救動物脫離險境。對於Rescue Ink的成員來說，給予這些動物一個重生的機會就是一切的一切。他們在《造反有理》這集節目中正是本著這樣的初衷來幫助Spike和Brownie。 Spike是一隻有咬人紀錄的狗，因此在能將牠安置於新家之前，他們必須找到一位有經驗的訓練師來訓練牠。Brownie這隻狗則是因受某種毛病之苦而導 致牠必須拖著後腳走路。這群刺青客為牠打造了一台輪椅，好讓牠可以過更快樂的生活。
