When was Paul O'Grady's For The Love of Dogs filmed?
The new series was filmed last summer, with Paul once again joining the team at Battersea Dogs Home.
A synopsis for the first 30 minute episode of the new series teases: 'This week Paul falls head over heels with a gorgeous Newfoundland who needs major life changing surgery on her back legs. He meets a lab cross who’s totally obsessed with water and keeps flooding her kennel, and helps a terrified bichon frise, who was found wandering around a forest, become less scared of the world."
