Paul O'Grady forced to give back dog he rescued from shelter

Paul O'Grady fought back tears as he was forced to make a difficult decision.

The animal lover was heartbroken after he had to return his foster dog Tulip after things all got too much. The TV personality fell in love with the American Bull dog on his ITV show, Paul O'Grady for the Love of Dogs: What Happened Next.

Paul already had a few dogs, and is always keen to give animals a loving home. However, things didn't quite go to plan as when he brought Tulip home she seemed to bark furiously at his other pets.

Tulip's unexpected outburst left his existing dog shaken and she failed to bark back. The 66-year-old became disturbed by the dog's behaviour after things became unsettled in his household.

Paul had no other choice but to return Tulip with hopes that she would soon be fostered or adopted by a loving family. He later revisited Tulip's story in the ITV programme.

He was happy to discover that someone did decide to adopt Tulip and she was able to blend into her family and get along with her other dog. Fans on Twitter were also made up to see the dog now doing so well.

Nicky said: "#pogdogs so nice to see how well the dogs are doing especially #tulip". Emodi said: "#Pogdogs Oh I remember Tulip, OMG she looks amazing." Meanwhile, Teena said: "His little Tulip is now huge... #POGDogs"
