Paul watches as the couple spends time with several dogs, including an older staffie named Cheeky who has been at Battersea for several months. Cheeky is calm and gentle, but suffers from separation anxiety and needs a patient and understanding owner who can give him the attention he needs.

After much deliberation, the couple decides to adopt Cheeky and give him a loving home.
