Ep 1. Episode 1

The Dog Rescuers is a gripping reality show that outlines the adventures of dog rescuers and their quests to save canines in desperate situations. In the third season, the show kicks off with Episode 1 which documents a day in the life of the rescuers as they attend to emergency cases, abandoned and mistreated canines.

In this episode, viewers are introduced to an animal warden, a volunteer, and an inspector from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) as they work together to rescue stray dogs and those undergoing tough times. The show highlights different areas around the UK including Birmingham, Yorkshire, and London, each with its unique episode and notable cases.

In Birmingham, animal warden, Al, receives reports about a dog that has been dumped in a vacant lot. Despite receiving several calls about the same dog, it takes Al several attempts to locate the abandoned canine. When he finally catches up with the dog, it is clear that the poor animal has been without food or water for some time. Wrapped in a blanket, the dog's health is critical, and Al quickly rushes the dehydrated pooch to the vet. The dog is diagnosed with severe dehydration and malnourishment, and the vet notes that the animal has been without food or water for at least five days. As the team watches over the dog's recovery, Al vows to find the person(s) who abandoned the pooch and bring them to justice.

Later in Yorkshire, volunteer, Val, has had a busy day attending to different emergency calls, but there is one case that touches her heart, that of a collie crossbreed found wandering on the streets. Val arrives on the scene to find the dog hiding under a car, and as she approaches the poor animal, it starts trembling in fear. The dog has no collar, and Val is convinced that she has been abandoned. Val takes the dog to the vet, and in the meantime, she puts out an appeal to people in the area in the hope of reuniting the collie crossbreed with its owner. With no luck finding the owner, Val takes the pooch home for the night, where she can give the dog the attention it needs. However, taking the dog home is easier said than done, as the dog is fearful of people and needs a lot of gentle coaxing.

Finally, in London, inspector, Anthony, receives a report about an abandoned pit bull terrier. While pit bulls have a reputation for being aggressive, Anthony is determined to show viewers another side of the breed. When he arrives on the scene, he is met with a surprise as the pit bull is chained to a fence in a public park with overgrown bushes around it. Anthony is convinced that the dog has been abandoned and is determined to save the dog. As he attempts to untangle the chains, the dog starts getting aggressive, and Anthony has to act fast before anyone gets hurt. As he struggles with the dog, Anthony gets help from some passers-by, and they finally get the dog untangled. After a thorough check-up, it is revealed that the dog has been used for fighting, and it has several injuries that need attention. Anthony takes the dog to his foster home, where he can get the care he needs.

Throughout the episode, The Dog Rescuers highlights the importance of treating animals with kindness and respect. The viewers see the dedicated efforts of the rescuers and the emotional toll involved in their line of work. The show is a reminder of the importance of taking responsibility for our pets and being aware of other people's pets, as well as reporting any incidents of animal cruelty.
