Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs

It's Paul's first week at Battersea. As well as dealing with the temptation to adopt every dog he meets, Paul helps with the arrival of an adorable litter of puppies.

This week there's a rare and exciting event happening at Battersea. A tiny Chihuahua cross called Bourbon arrives at the home heavily pregnant.

This week Paul is asked to help dog behaviourist Brian with a dog who has developed an extreme fear of men.

The Battersea staff and dogs are going on an outing this week and Paul is charged with looking after a stubborn old Staffie.

This week the Battersea staff deal with a tiny Chihuahua with a big aggression problem and Paul befriends an anxious dog who comes to Battersea after escaping from a house fire.

It's a distressing week for Paul a couple come to Battersea ready to adopt his favourite dog Carmine.

It's Paul's last week at Battersea, and he's really quite upset about it. But the Battersea staff have a wonderful surprise waiting for him on his last day.

Heart-warming stories of homeless pets are even more poignant at Christmas and at Battersea Cats and Dogs home, there are plenty of touching tales in this Christmas Special.
