For The Love Of Dogs At Christmas | Preview (ITV)

Animal lover extraordinaire Paul O’Grady is back for more festive fun at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, ready to celebrate the season of goodwill by falling in love with a new group of adorable stray and abandoned pooches.

Paul is determined to bring some Christmas spirit to Battersea by helping more dogs find a new forever home.

He meets a Patterdale puppy called Pudding who undergoes a life changing operation, and a Cockapoo called Boo who has zero table manners due to his over excitement and enthusiasm. But is Paul the person to teach Boo some patience?!

Filled with laughter, uplifting and moving moments, this Christmas special sees Paul getting stuck in as always with feeding, walking and preparing festivities for the Battersea residents. And there might just be a Christmas surprise in store for Paul too….

Paul said: “This Christmas special is a real cracker. There’s little Pudding who had me on the edge of my seat whilst he was in surgery and then there’s the Cockerpoo who needs some table manners in time for his Christmas feast - as usual I can’t resist a challenge and decide I’ll give it a go! All the staff are working hard at Battersea so I hope to bring them a bit of help and Christmas cheer!”
