Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs

- Season 9

(2021)

In this hour-long special edition, Paul returns to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for one of the most extraordinary and dramatic periods in its history. Paul visits for one last time before the UK goes into lockdown due to COVID-19.

Paul is back with a new series from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Paul helps a shy rottweiler who struggles to bond with people. He also meets a lovable spaniel cross puppy with a bad case of mites and family of rabbits left at a bus stop.

This time Paul meets an energetic Staffie cross who needs calming down in kennels. He also falls in love with a rare West African dog called an Azawakh, and coaxes an overbred bulldog to come out of its shell.

Paul trains a lively beagle cross pup, keeps a Bichon company, helps a elderly Staffie that was left tied to the gates and gets caught up in an outbreak of parvovirus which all the Battersea staff battle to contain.

Paul meets a pair of shih tzus from a puppy farm that need to learn all about domestic life, an American bulldog heartbroken to leave her owner. He meets a stray that has been living at Battersea for two years.

Paul meets more dogs struggling to find a home, including a golden retriever with an incontinence problem and a border collie with a bad hip. He also meets a tiny pregnant mongrel and a elderly Patterdale who just needs some company.
