Viewers found themselves "in tears” on Thursday, April 13 as Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs returned for its final series. The new series airs on ITV1 following the tragic death of host Paul last month aged 67 - read more about that here.
Minutes into the first episode, we were introduced to two-year-old Newfoundland Peggy, who arrived at Battersea Dogs Home as a stray. When meeting Peggy, Paul learned that she was prone to medical issues and had issues with her back legs.
Peggy underwent a four-hour operation at the Royal Veterinary College in the hope of repairing her back legs. Paul supported her during her recovery, which lasted around eight weeks, and included physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and assisted walks in a supported harness.
