Tonight on 20/20 ` Her dreams of gold were shattered in Beijing. Walker tries to get it on the line. Just fails. Goes into fourth place. But she's back for more, and in London, only one result will do. I will win gold... end of story. (CHUCKLES) How do a million girls go missing every year? There is even a place known as the 'village of no women'. 20/20 goes undercover to reveal the shocking truth. 'It is not a good report,' he says, 'as it's a girl child.' 'A girl child?' says the husband. 'What should we do now?' 'It should be aborted,' says the doctor. Also, we get up close and personal with TV's favourite vampires. It is this sense of angst, and you just` and you just` you want, and you need, and you don't know, and you love, and you hate, and then you cry, and you're happy, and...

Sarah Walker will win gold at the London Olympics this year. I know, it's not the Kiwi way to be so confident and cocky, but the champion BMX rider is daring to be different, daring to believe. And she has a couple of blokes to thank for it. You might remember in 2008 at her first Olympics in Beijing, Sarah was ranked number one and finished fourth. But, she says, this time, in London in July, things will be different. Emma Keeling went to find out where all these golden thoughts are coming from. JANGLY GUITAR MUSIC I never really 100% believed I could win. ANNOUNCER SHOUTS 30 seconds between success and failure. OVERLAPPING COMMENTARY The first Olympics, I think, was just surreal. I was blown away by everything. Walker is out of the picture at the moment. The reality of her golden dream was too much. I got lost in the moment ` just of what the Olympics is. What you see on TV is nothing like what it is when you're there. Walker tries to get it on the line, just fails. Goes into fourth place. And you spend four years building up to this one day, and then all of a sudden it's over, and that feeling is indescribable. It's just, kind of, an emptiness, I guess. STATIC BUZZES LAIDBACK MUSIC What does it take to be an Olympic champion? It's something Sarah Walker thinks about every day. I have been told to look in the mirror, or right before the session, 'I will win gold.' How does it feel to say that? I'm not used to saying that. You don't` You don't go and` In Kawerau you don't go, 'I'm gonna win a gold medal. And what?' BOTH LAUGH It is just something you don't` don't do, so it took a lot to learn how to be able to say that, and a lot more on top of that, how to believe it. Yeah. She was eight when the glint of gold first caught her eye. I remember being proud of Danyon. Didn't know who he was. Loader wins gold for NZ! I just knew that he was a swimmer, and he was standing on that podium with the national anthem playing, and I was just like,'Man, that's so cool. I want to be like that.' And so that's probably one of the reasons why I did as many sports as I did, was just whatever it was gonna take, I was gonna get there. It could have been any sport. I just gave everything a go and found that, pretty much, if I wanted to be good at it, I could be, which was quite cool. This golden-haired cherub is Sarah. She soon changed. I was a tomboy at school, definitely. I wore trackpants and T-shirts to primary school, even. (CHUCKLES) I think the only thing girly about me was I did have Barbie dolls. FAST ROCK MUSIC Younger brother Matt got her into BMX. She started winning immediately. Mum, Dad and Grandma have been cheering ever since. She only jumped on a BMX bike to support her brother, really, and then found out that it wasn't too far to the top of the hill. So once she realised that it was, you know, she could be successful, she just jumped on it. But it wasn't an Olympic sport. I did look at going to velodrome, cos it was closest to what I enjoyed most ` riding a bike. and I was about to change over sports, and then BMX was announced as an Olympic sport and, kind of, made the decision extremely easy. Yeah. APPLAUSE And so do you think she can win gold? Cos she certainly does. Yeah, we think she can. Yeah, we think she can. She can. She just needs a wee bit of luck and, uh` Yeah, a little bit of luck, and we think she'll be there. Yeah. No, she's gonna do it. She's gonna do it. (CHUCKLES) GUITAR CHORD FADES OUT STATIC BUZZES At the Beijing Olympics Sarah had the talent to win, but not the mind. I think that's one thing that was holding me back, was I wanted to be so perfect that I was afraid of not being perfect, or losing. Walker tries to get it on the line, just fails. Goes into fourth place. At that time I still hadn't won a world championship. Like, I'd finished second at every world champs before that. So I still hadn't learnt how to win, or how to experience that process. Adelaide 2009 was her time. Sarah Walker ` she's had some of the strongest and best races today. START GUN BLARES CROWD CHEERS As bizarre as coming second and how much it sucks to come second, it's been really good. And going into London, when I win a gold medal,... (CHUCKLES) that` all those seconds will be why I win. It's gonna be Sarah Walker from NZ. APPLAUSE, CHEERING it is the first and only time that an elite woman had won both the elite women's class and the elite women's cruiser class, so that was kind of special. She was world champion. However it was around this time Sarah took an interest in rowing. PEACEFUL MUSIC She moved to Cambridge and met NZ rep Ian Seymour ` a match made in a competitive kind of heaven. He'll go off to his training. He'll come back. He's, 'Right, your turn.' (CHUCKLES) And I have to go match it, what he did ` and` and push as hard as what he did, and I come back. 'Right, your turn.' (CHUCKLES) So it's been great. It's going so well they're building a house together. So, this is our home. Lovely. Nice, big open-plan throughout the middle. Nice, big open-plan throughout the middle. You designed all this yourself? Yeah. We designed it from scratch. Uh, the builders just copied exactly what we wanted, and... So, lounge? We've got lounge there. Standing in the dining room, and we've got the kitchen over behind us. And you've chosen that carpet, Ian, have you? And you've chosen that carpet, Ian, have you? I've` I've given it the nod, yeah. LAUGHTER This is our laundry. It's nice and big, cos we're gonna have a lot of rowers in the house. They're training two, three times a day. And do you have a full-time laundry person here? We probably should. We should probably include that in our` Yeah. We probably should. We should probably include that in our` Yeah. Three washing machines, 10 dryers. Apparently, bikes and boats do go together. < So, Ian, what just excited, that it wasn't a rower? < So, Ian, what just excited, that it wasn't a rower? LAUGHTER To be honest, yeah, that is probably a good point. Just another person that shares the same aspect of life, of training and striving for those inches every day. But is not a rower, so you can have a conversation about something else other than rowing... now and then. So, honestly, how do you two get on? Uh... We've both got` We're both as stubborn as each other,... which makes for some good arguments, let's be honest. Um,... We don't like losing, and it's hard to back down. So, here we are. It will be a very happy home if Ian qualifies for the Olympic rowing team. But work isn't far away. The BMX track is on their back doorstep. We were thinking about making a jump over the fence. The thing is, if I make a jump that way, I can make a jump coming back. True. Little landing pad on to the deck. True. Little landing pad on to the deck. LAUGHTER Ian wasn't the only man to make a big impression on Sarah. QUIET ELECTRONIC MUSIC Two years ago she went looking for sports psychologist David Galbraith. I was struggling with the concept of winning and accepting that, OK, I'm good at what I do. And it's OK to be good at it. So, again, we learn what we've learnt many times now ` that the key to your confidence and belief is action, especially around that gate ` first jump, first track. How I used to think was... almost scared of... what I could become. But now it's excitement of what I could become. So now you're starting to embrace your light, eh? So now you're starting to embrace your light, eh? Yeah, yeah. Instead of being afraid of the dark. David's building on the belief Sarah will win gold. David, how do you feel you've helped Sarah? Probably the most difficult job with athletes is getting them to a point where they can start to believe in themselves and their potential, to then embrace and be open to the possibilities that their mind could get them another second or another two seconds. ...building the confidence on the first jump. She's had courage, but she's also had patience. Now, those two things together, that's psychological gold. Why I say it's made it easy, is I haven't had to work in a place of massive self-doubt, which often drives a massive sense of desperation to have to perform. To win gold, there's no room for doubt. All my testing is the best it's ever been. I want to be able to take what I am now to a race and actually see where it's at. And between now and then there's so many opportunities for things to go wrong, and I don't want to think that way. The chances of crashing, injury, are many. At the end of the season last year, 2011, I was racing in America, and once again, right before racing I have a huge crash. And it was over the first jump, which is 13m long. Um, and it has been one of my more challenging jumps that I've struggled with a lot throughout the years. I hit my head fairly hard. Uh, it was a bit confusing to start with, cos, um, the medics got to me really quickly. I was like, 'Oh, that's not a good sign.' (LAUGHS) It was just 20 minutes before she had to race. But she and David had figured out a thought process to keep the fear away. Number one ` I want my body to be in a certain position. Number two - I need my wrists rolled forward. Number three ` my cranks need to be in the right position. And I went on the gate. Step one, step two, step three. Focused on my breathing, and the rest will take care of itself. And I ended up making it through` right through to the final. After the first race, almost broke down into tears, cos so relieved it was over. DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH STATIC BUZZES Go, go, go, go, go, go! FAST ROCK MUSIC The London Olympics start in July. Come on! Sarah's soon heading overseas for competition build-up. FAST ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES Today, she's in golden company. Yeah, it's pretty special. I think a little bit of in-house competition. Um, me more than her. (LAUGHS) I was seeing what she's doing on the bench press, and I've got to make sure that I can do that ` more with my legs, though. (CHUCKLES) Just a bit of inspiration before I go and do my testing. Yes, got to beat Val. Yeah. In 2007 and 2009, Sarah lost out to Valerie Adams at the Halbergs. Three, two, one, come on, up, up, up! My thing I'm inspired by ` anyone that's better than me, really. And I think that's helped me to get to where I am today. Most days of the year it's just Sarah and her bike, but today a few locals have joined her. You're good. You're good. Thank you. Do you ride much BMX? A little bit. They'll be watching the Olympics, unaware of just what Sarah's had to do to get there. I don't know if there's anyone in BMX that isn't scared. I think it's who handles it the best, I guess. And I've found a way that can handle fear and let me be as skilful as I need to be to win races. Go! As long as Sarah's given 100%, she's OK with losing. UPLIFTING ROCK MUSIC But more importantly, she believes she can be the best. So, Sarah, what's your goal for the London Olympics? So, Sarah, what's your goal for the London Olympics? My goal is to win gold... end of story. (CHUCKLES) Full stop. Yeah. Simple. Gold for Sarah Walker. I can just hear the commentators now. Next on 20/20 ` the lost girls. An estimated one million girls are considered missing every year. 20/20 investigates India's deadly secret and alarming gender gap. Whether eliminated in the womb or tossed out in the trash, they call it gendercide. We put very little value to girls and to women, so they're always in danger, from birth to death. If they are born, then they might be murdered just because they are girls. There is even a place known as the 'village of no women'. It has one of the lowest sex ratios on earth.

Huggies Nappy Pants - for babies who won't take changes lying down. a Welcome back. Why are there virtually no women in an entire Indian village? There are, it would seem, some families who would do almost anything to get a boy, and almost anything else to get rid of a girl. An estimated one million girls are 'missing' every year. So, what's really going on here? 20/20 goes inside the ultrasound clinics that are illegally revealing the sex of their babies to their parents-to-be. INDIAN MUSIC India has a deadly secret. It isn't hard to find. Walk down any street, as I did, throughout India, and you notice something startling ` in every direction, you see men and very few women. There is even a place known as the 'village of no women'. It has one of the lowest sex ratios on earth. Now look closely at the faces of these girls. They are the lucky ones. They're alive. I came to India because I heard that a million of their sisters are systematically killed every year because of a gender preference for boys. The numbers are staggering. 50,000 female foetuses are aborted every month. Since 1980, an estimated 40 million girls are missing through sex-selective abortion, neglect or murder. It's the obliteration of a whole... class, race of human beings. It's half the population of India. Whether eliminated in the womb or tossed out in the trash, they call it gendercide. We put very little value to girls and to women, so they're always in danger from birth to death. If they are born, then they might be murdered just because they are girls. But why in a land where men revere female goddesses and where the current president is a woman is there such ingrained discrimination against girls to the point of killing them? The main reason is money. Girls are a financial burden to their parents, who must pay expensive dowries to marry them off. A dowry is a cultural tradition and the single biggest reason Indians prefer boys. When a boy is born, how is that greeted? Oh, it's with great joy, because he's going to bring in the moolah. (CHUCKLES) You see? He's going to be the person who gets married to a girl who's bringing in the money. But in this series of photos, a very different scene ` a woman gives birth, a doctor brings the child out to her waiting family-in-law, who immediately check the baby's gender. You only have to look at the woman's face to know it is a girl, who will one day cost this family a lot of money. The amounts of dowry have become higher and higher, and, uh, families can get into huge debt bondage just to be able to pay the dowry to get a daughter married. Once married, if a girl's family doesn't pay a set amount of dowry, she's often beaten, tortured, even burned to death. And while dowries have been illegal for decades, the law is mostly ignored. So, how do a million girls go missing every year? The answer is down a thousand streets like this one in clinics that can exploit the use of this machine found in nearly every hospital in the world ` the ultrasound. Finding out the gender of your baby before he or she is born is a booming business everywhere in India. In this small town just on this stretch of the street, there are 10 ultrasound clinics; 10 places where women can find out whether she's having a baby boy or a baby girl, and it's illegal. In India, it is a crime to use an ultrasound to determine the sex of your child. It is also illegal to perform an abortion based on gender. Every ultrasound clinic is required to post the law. It is rarely enforced. People walk in in the open in broad daylight. Doctors are performing the sonograms in broad daylight. So it's not even, like, underground. It's overground, accepted, but not talked about. Many assume Indian gendercide is a crime of the poor and ignorant. It is not. With their higher dowries and easy access to ultrasound machines, it is the rich and educated who, at an alarming rate, use sex-selection abortions to weed out potential daughters. Census figures show the problem is getting worse among the wealthiest families. In some areas of India, there are only 300 girls for every 1000 boys. It is just the more educated and sophisticated we become, the more educated and sophisticated our ways of getting the girl eliminated becomes. Dr Mitu Khurana is a 34-year-old paediatrician and mother of 5-year-old twin girls. Isn't anybody thinking ahead that if you have all these boys being born, eventually when all those boys grow up to be men, they're not gonna...? The issue is everybody agrees there has to be females, but nobody wants it in their own house. Even her own husband, also a doctor and part of the privileged class, even he and his family demanded that she give him a son. My husband, he hates me. Wants to remarry, because he wants to have sons, which I have not given him. So according to him, I was a useless wife. He wanted to throw me out. It was in the sixth week of pregnancy when I came to know that I'm getting twins. Then the pressure started for sex-determination test. So what did they say to you? That they wanted to know if they're girls or boys and that they can't afford two daughters, so if they're two daughters, I should abort them. When she refused to have an illegal sex-determination test, she says her husband's family fed her a cake with eggs, knowing she was allergic. She was rushed to the hospital, where her husband and mother-in-law persuaded doctors to do an illegal ultrasound to find out the sex of the babies. To their dread, the twins are girls. From that day onwards, the pressure started to get an abortion done or to get one of them killed. To ensure she miscarried, Dr Khurana says her husband and his family tortured her and deprived her of food until she fled to her parents', where she then gave birth. Did anybody ever try and hurt the babies in any way? When she was four months old, my mother-in-law threw her down the staircase. The net effect of this growing gender gap is alarming. When we went to this village in Haryana, you could see the men desperate to find women to marry. (SPEAKS HINDI) TRANSLATOR: They are killing the girl child in the womb. This old man sitting next to me never married. He warns younger men that even though boys are traditionally preferred, it creates a shortage of women. TRANSLATOR: How will we get married? It is a problem. Some women are trafficked in, sold and forced to marry village men, like this woman, who bore her husband eight sons. When we asked the rest of the young men if they had trouble finding a bride, all raised their hands. Next on 20/20 ` while gendercide is illegal in India, it's still going on in plain view. And what's happening to the girls who are being abandoned? When we return we take you inside an undercover sting exposing doctors some call demons in white coats; Dr Khurana confronts her husband; and we trek across the country to find the strange, tiny boxes embedded in these walls. You won't believe what we find on the other side.

Don't miss the Kathmandu Easter Escape Sale. a Welcome back. In part two of The Lost Girls, 20/20 goes undercover to reveal just what is happening inside many of India's ultrasound clinics. Plus, one woman providing a future for some of India's unwanted daughters. INDIAN MUSIC At temples like this, newly-weds will travel long distances to pray. Not for their future or health; they pray for a baby boy. But many do more than pray. Down allies like this are dozens of clinics making millions of dollars using ultrasound machines. Here, this modern medical device is being used as a weapon to carry out an ancient tradition. But just last July, two activists conducted a sting operation, hoping to expose doctors who illegally identify and abort female foetuses. Posing as a husband and his five-month-pregnant wife, they came to hear their test results. The doctor immediately breaks the law by telling them the sex of the baby. 'It is a not a good report,' he says, 'as it's a girl child.' 'A girl child?' says the husband. 'What should we do now?' 'It should be aborted,' says the doctor. The doctor tells the husband his wife is too far along in her pregnancy to perform an abortion, but for more money, he's willing to illegally inject her to induce a miscarriage. 'It will cost around 60,000 to 70,000 rupees,' he says, 'but the child will be aborted.' This sting video was turned over to authorities and posted on YouTube. The clinic was shut down, the equipment seized and sealed, and these two doctors face possible charges. But the sad truth is stings like these rarely lead to convictions. The police and the judiciary, they never implement the laws, because they believe in the same thing and sometimes do the same thing. Despite this ambivalence by authorities, others, like Dr Mitu Khurana, are fighting back. Five years ago, after fleeing her home with her twin daughters, she took an extraordinary step ` becoming the first woman to accuse her husband of violating the law banning sex-determination tests. In her lawsuit, she claims her husband and his parents illegally determined the sex of her twins and then pressured her to abort them and, when she refused, tried to kill them. Your daughter is sitting in your lap right now. She's very very attached to you. She wouldn't leave you for this interview. How much do they know of this story? They know everything. They know everything. And... how does a 6-year-old wrap her head around that? She asked me once` She was sitting in my lap, and she asked me, 'Mama, could I have died when Grandmama pushed me down the stairs?' I said yes. So she just came back and said, 'Thank you, Mama, for saving me.' That's it. Two lives saved out of millions who perish every year. But her crusade has come at a cost. For speaking out, Dr Khurana says she has lost her job and even received death threats. When we contacted her husband, he denied the allegations. Most observers are doubtful that even a woman of her stature will ever see justice. The reaction of almost all the authorities here was that, uh, it's me who is the criminal. How many years have you been fighting this case already? Almost four years ` three to four years. How long are you willing to fight? How long are you willing to fight? As much as it takes. Because my fight is that if this all can happen with a doctor ` a paediatrician ` how do I safeguard them when they get married? If this can happen to me, it can happen to them when they grow up, and that is the reason I'm fighting it. Even India's prime minister acknowledges that gendercide has become what he calls a national shame. The man once charged with fixing the problem is K Chandramauli, India's Secretary of Health and Family Welfare. Do you agree with the prime minister that this is a national shame? Yeah, I don't think it's something we're proud of. (CHUCKLES) Everybody knows where it's happening. Why aren't more of those people being put out of business? You're right. We need to sort of, uh... Probably we're not being aggressive enough. People have always thought of India where women are well represented in government, and yet millions of girl babies aborted. What does that say about the value of a girl in India? I think you've answered your question. I've just admitted to you that it is something which we need to take care of. In a country of a billion people, it will take more than laws to change people's minds, but there are rays of hope. We travelled north to Punjab. Here and around the country, the government and charities have set up a network of orphanages called 'cradle houses'. Down allies like this one, unwanted baby girls are abandoned inside a drop box and passed from certain death into the arms of this extraordinary woman. TRANSLATOR: My goal is to shelter the unwanted, to give them love. Her name is Prakash Kaur, but to the 60 girls who live in this orphanage she founded called Unique Home, she is affectionately known as Mama. And how old here? And how old here? She's three days old. They are from the garbage. Mostly these girls are half dead. Half dead? Half dead? Half dead, because the mother taken so many medicines for the killing to poison them. No child is turned away. These close quarters, which are immaculate, will be their home until they can make their own life choices. Well clothed and fed, this sisterhood studies, sleeps and eats together. To Mama, who also grew up an orphan, every child is her daughter to raise, protect and educate. TRANSLATOR: It's important to empower and embolden these girls to make them stronger. so one day when they give birth to a baby girl, they will not give into the pressure to play with nature. They should understand whatever their moms did to them, they should not do to their own daughters. She does not allow the girls to be adopted, for fear that the outside world will abuse or neglect them. TRANSLATOR: Here, these girls who are found in wells, drains and dustbins are safe, and I am their mother. My life is... like a diamond ` a priceless gift which God has given me. Lucy Singh is 19 years old and has lived at Unique Home since the day after she was born. She attends college and wants to be a teacher. She calls Prakash Kaur her mom, her dad, her everything. I feel I'm the lucky one. None of these children know their birthdate, so each year they celebrate one giant birthday together. It is a haven from an outside world that would prefer they had never been born. Gandhi once said, 'To call women the weaker sex is a libel. 'It is man's injustice to woman.' What kind of world do you hope your daughters will grow up in and be young women in one day? Where at least being a female is not a crime. At least the right to life that has been denied only because you are a female. Right, a complete change of pace. Next up on 20/20, just how pampered should a pet be? All over the world, pet owners spend millions, from relatively simple procedures like pierced ears, tattoos and braces if those crooked teeth just don't fit, but there's one purely cosmetic procedure that had me saying, 'You must be pulling my tail.' So, Marty, what do we have here? That is the artificial dog testicle, or Neuticle. The latest anti-ageing breakthrough from Olay ` new Regenerist Wrinkle Revolution. In just 10 minutes, even the look of deep lines and wrinkles are dramatically reduced. Olay Regenerist. a Welcome back. Plastic surgery, brow lifts, tummy tucks, Botox and implants sounds like Hollywood Wives. But these are the procedures being done on the world's most pampered pets. Tonight we take a look at the latest trend of, yep, believe it or not, pet plastic surgery. This little guy is Frankie Beans, and today he's enjoying a blueberry facial at the salon. Yep, blueberry. Dog owners love to kiss their babies in the face, so they don't want that sour smell. Frankie's in great hands. Anais Hayden is a top-notch canine creative stylist. Creative styling is where you add a little bit of colour, whether that's rhinestones, a little bit of, um, glitter. Move over, Westminster. Canine creative styling is practically a competitive sport. Do they like that? Do they like that? They love that. While Anais certainly has a flair for fur, she keeps her treatments skin deep, and that's good. But the apparent quest for beauty can go much deeper. All over the world, pet owners spend millions ` from relatively simple procedures like pierced ears, tattoos, and braces if those crooked teeth just don't fit; to the complicated ` facelifts for sagging skin, liposuction for obese dogs, nose jobs for pooches with breathing problems, and to help dogs with droopy eyelids, believe it or not, a little Botox. But why? Dogs don't care how they look, says top-notch veterinarian Dr Marty Becker. There's no bikini season in dogs. There's no ultra-thin dog models on Animal Planet. In England, I met Junior the bloodhound and his five boisterous brothers. Junior has had a lot of work done ` I mean a lot. When you tell people that Junior's had a tummy tuck and a facelift, do you get a bit of a strange reaction? Yeah, they think I'm mad, cos they think I've done it for cosmetic reasons. But owner Denise Smart doesn't care too much what he looks like. He ain't no catwalk dog. Junior's surgery was for a medical condition. Folds of excess stretchy skin ` so much that Junior would trip when he tried to run. He looks good now. He looks loads better, and he's happier. The main thing is he can actually see now. He's happier and healthier like millions of other dogs because plastic surgery fixed a serious medical problem. But there's one purely cosmetic procedure that had me saying, 'You must be pulling my tail.' So, Marty, what do we have here? So, Marty, what do we have here? That is the artificial dog testicle, or Neuticle. That's a big boy. That's a big boy. That's a Dane size. And that would be? And that would be? Chihuahua. You might just call them a ball-ternative, and nearly a million of them have been implanted in neutered pets all over the globe. There would be nothing wrong, I guess, if you, uh, had, uh, a little terrier that had a terrier size and you wanted to step up to a cocker spaniel. No, no, no, no. Surely that's unethical. No, no, no, no. Surely that's unethical. Only if it was modestly bigger. The real big daddies go for 579 bucks... each, and that's before the surgeon's fee. Are you gonna have a big-screen TV or put in a set of artificial dog testicles? That's what it comes down to, so you make the choice. You wanna watch the Super Bowl or the March Madness in high def or do you want to have, you know, Sparky packing a pair? Which one do you want, Sparky? For some dog owners, it's no small decision, as Bruce Jenner discovers in this episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians. He agonises over whether to neuter Kim's dog, Rocky. What do you think, Kim? What do you think, Kim? The smaller the better. What do you think, Kim? The smaller the better. LAUGHS: The smaller the better. OK, let's go with the small ones. I'm with you. He opted for Neuticles, easing his empathetic pain. The only thing I can do now is hope for the best. This is Munson, a buff 9-year-old English bulldog sporting a pair. Even as a young pup, Munson's amorous instincts were tough to control. His owner, Jim Davenport, was torn, but had little choice but to have him, well, you know, hmm. We had another English bulldog that was neutered, and his name was Clint, and all he did was limp around and mope around after that. He was never the same. So when a vet friend mentioned Neuticles to maintain Munson's masculine mojo... I couldn't believe they had this available. It's a great country. I couldn't believe they had this available. It's a great country. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) Jim thought, 'Why not?' It tickled his funny bone, and the surgery carries little risk. It's almost like changing tyres on NASCAR. Just like the Daytona 500, but there's no... (IMITATES AIR GUN) There's none of that, but it's a pretty quick surgery. And how are those new lug nuts working out for Munson? He's got good rapport with the female dogs on the street, and that's probably happenstance. I know you're looking at me like I'm insane. BOTH LAUGH After some delicate conversation, Jim and I reached a painful conclusion. It doesn't really make much difference to Munson? It doesn't really make much difference to Munson? None. So it's kind of about you and about how people might perceive you. So it's kind of about you and about how people might perceive you. (CHUCKLES) But you know what? It just might make a difference to Munson because it makes a difference to Jim. Dogs embrace the grooming, the bows and the tooth brushing because... They know they're getting a lot more attention, and that's what they deserve and crave ` is attention. Bang. And to enjoy that love and attention it just might take a paw-dicure and pristine cuticles or perhaps a brand new pair of Neuticles. Can't say I'm convinced. Next on 20/20 we go to Hollywood and talk with some vampires, werewolves and witches. DRAMATIC MUSIC There's a lot of sex around you. Must be very frustrating for Klaus. I think that's part of where the evilness comes from, you know. He's pulling out hearts cos he's not getting any, you know? He's pulling out hearts cos he's not getting any, you know? BOTH LAUGH A Welcome back. It's a great time to be a vampire. The Twilight films have stirred the emotions of teens around the world, and on TV there's a lot of love for The Vampire Diaries. Hot young things running around biting each other. What's not to love? But it's not all about the sex and the passion. Apparently, there are many deeper themes and storylines, but you won't hear about those in this story. Our own Emma Keeling got completely distracted by the sex and passion when she travelled to LA to talk to the cast. DRAMATIC MUSIC CRESCENDOES (SCREAMS) < It's a hot-blooded wee show. Yes. Everyone is definitely` has 'soda pop' syndrome continuously. Everyone's just about to burst at any moment. Candice Accola agrees. They're like teens with pointy teeth. (HISSES) I think that that is such a beautiful parallel for exactly those reasons. You know, it is` it is this sense of angst and you just` and you just` you want, and you need, and you don't know, and you love, and you hate, and then you cry, and then you're happy, and you rebel. Her character, Caroline Forbes, became a vampire in season two. So life just got a whole lot more confusing. Hello, Caroline. Daddy? When I was a teenager of course I felt all of those things. I'm in my twenties and I'm still feeling a lot of those things. (CHUCKLES) Um, you know, everyone's always just said once you hit 30, it's, like, smooth sailing at least. Don't believe that for a second. Don't believe that for a second. No? (LAUGHS) Damn it. Caroline has the hots for Michael Trevino's character, Tyler Lockwood. He's an athlete turned werewolf. (GRUNTS) Michael, you must be the most hairless werewolf I've ever met. (LAUGHS) Uh, right now. Right now, for the time being, yes. No thoughts of growing a beard? Uh, no. No, I don't` I don't think so. They kind of keep us clean-shaven. I like to get lazy and let it grow out, but it's not really full at the moment. With so many hairless, hot young people around, even the actors get distracted. You must be sitting there at times going, 'Who are they going to put me with next?' Uh, yes. Yes, I am. And` And also it's different whenever, uh... I'll talk to my buddy, Zach Roerig, who plays Matt Donovan. And when we read a script, and we read that there's a new female coming on the show, we're like... And we'll go to our producers and be like, 'Who's going to be the love interest? 'Who's she gonna`?' You know, we're just always biting at it, just like, 'Who's gonna hook up with who?' But every show has to have a baddie, and on The Vampire Diaries it's Joseph Morgan. Joseph, what is it about the English guy is always the baddie in all the American shows? (CHUCKLES) I wondered that myself, you know. It's like, uh, we have a whole, uh, club, like Rent A Baddie. Klaus causes all the mayhem in the show. He's a nasty vampire-werewolf hybrid. But being evil has its drawbacks. Who's next? There's a lot of sex around you. Must be very frustrating for Klaus. You know, I think that's part of where the evilness comes from. But, you know, he's pulling out hearts cos he's not getting any, you know. BOTH LAUGH The Vampire Diaries, set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, is filmed in Atlanta, Georgia ` not an easy place to hone your abs. The Southern food is so good. I mean, half of nearly everything is fried, but it's delicious. And so, uh, it's hard to not go and splurge and eat. SCREAMING Have you started saying y'all and things like that? Have you started saying y'all and things like that? I always said y'all. So I fit in. But sometimes I get an accent, like you'll just be talking, and you'll just start talking like this, and you don't know why. Kat Graham plays Bonnie, the only witch in the village. Elena's dating a vampire. You're a witch. My sister's a ghost. She's a classically trained dancer and has toured with the Black Eyed Peas. Kat's, you know` She's an incredible dancer and a great, you know, singer. She's a musician. Her songs are so much fun. She's also a little bit country. Cos you're a big Taylor Swift fan, so I just wondered if maybe, you know, on the microphone... SQUEALS: I love her. SQUEALS: I love her. BOTH LAUGH Does she know about this obsession? Have you stalked her? I haven't stalked her, but she knows I love her, cos I've told her that to her face. So she knows. Um, you know, we definitely keep it very` very Southern, in Atlanta... I'm not sure what 'keeping it Southern' means, but it's become home for the cast and crew. They film in Atlanta for 10 months a year. I like to call it the travelling circus that doesn't travel anywhere. Everyone collectively hangs out with the crew probably just as much as we hang out as a cast. Off set, the girls let off steam at dance class. This YouTube clip of Kat and Candice was filmed by Nina Dobrev. She plays lead character Elena Gilbert. She's caught between two vampire brothers, Damon and Stefan. I don't believe that. You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough. Why? Because I love you? Why? Because I love you? Yeah. Nina's also Kat's best friend off-screen. You know, as an actor, you know, um, especially on a show like Vampire Diaries where there's such, um, high emotional scenes where you have to, kind of, dig in your gut and pull out this, sort of, honesty thing. And I think that's what really makes an actor great is that you have people that you work with that have your back` is that you have people that you work with that have your back` Who you can trust? That you can really really trust to be there and to deliver, and she is by far that 100%, so... I could end with that lovely comment, but I won't. Let's get back to the important stuff ` hot vampires and their sexual preferences. So, you know, if a hot witch walked by, would you, as Klaus, would you a) let her walk by, b) sleep with her ` I think we know where we're gonna go with this one ` or kill her? I` Probably a combination of B and C. I` Probably a combination of B and C. < B and C, really? Yes. I think B before C is probably the way to go. You don't want to get a name for yourself. Exactly. Not more than I have already, no. Exactly. Not more than I have already, no. LAUGHTER Good on you, Emma. If you want to see any of tonight's stories again, head to our website...
