Ep 2. Episode 2

Paul O'Grady is back for another season of "For the Love of Dogs" and in episode 2, viewers are in for a treat with more heartwarming stories of rescue dogs finding their forever home.

The episode starts off with Paul meeting up with staff at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London where they introduce him to some of their latest furry additions. From a timid Jack Russell Terrier to a lively Dalmatian, Paul is quick to make a connection with each and every one of them.

One dog in particular, a Shih Tzu named Holly, catches Paul's eye as the staff explain her heartbreaking backstory, which saw her being left to fend for herself on the streets of London after her previous owners moved away. Despite Holly's emotional trauma, Paul is determined to show her some love and affection, and he takes her for a walk around the Battersea grounds.

Later on in the episode, viewers get an insight into the behind-the-scenes work that goes on at Battersea as Paul gets to meet some of the dedicated staff and volunteers who spend their days taking care of the dogs. One such worker is Jo, a canine welfare assistant who explains the importance of socializing the rescue dogs and helping them adapt to life in a home environment.

Meanwhile, back in the kennels, Paul gets to meet a unique dog called Bagel, a Dachshund-cross who has been credited with bringing joy and comfort to staff and other rescue dogs alike. Despite Bagel's small stature, he has a big personality, and Paul finds himself being charmed by his playful antics.

As the episode progresses, Paul sets off to meet some other rescue dogs who are in search of a forever home. Along the way, he meets a 12-year-old Jack Russell who has been at Battersea for over a year, as well as a young Lurcher who has a talent for jumping over obstacles.

The final part of the episode sees Paul meeting with a couple who are looking to adopt a dog and who have come to Battersea to find their new furry family member. After being introduced to a range of different dogs who might be suitable, the couple are torn between two adorable canines--a cute Pug and a lovable crossbreed called Rosie.
