Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs

What a series for animal lovers. I've watched this since day one and I still love it. What a lovely man Paul is. Don't ever stop making this please!

I absolutely love 'For the love of dogs'. Alison Hammond had a hard task of replacing Paul, which she done well. I do feel more viewers would tune in if the hosts had a connection with Paul. His daughter, grandchild and husband would definitely bring in the crowds if they hosted together. Bringing their connection with what he absolutely loved and the passion for Battersea. His dedication and compassion made our hearts beat with love. Viewers knowing he has passed on his love for dogs would be a breath of fresh air. I'm sure Battersea would love his legacy carried on with his own family. Karen.

I love everything about this show. The harsh realities the health issues faced by some of the dogs is sad but they are presented directly and sensitively, helping everyone to be accepting of life and what we can and cannot control. The show is full of light, laughter, love and beautiful dogs. I love Paul, the staff, the bright Spring/Summer colour, the photography, the music choices and of course the dogs. I watch it at the end of the day and it always lifts me up. I just love this show!

Paul O grady. Is truly amzing for his passion of dogs one trouper love him. He deseve a rating of 10 love his show my dog love his show hope this will stay on tv.

As the new series approaches, I had to have a look back on the original.

Paul seemed to genuinely adore, love and worship dogs, it was very easy to see how the entertainer felt, probably preferred dogs to people.

A wonderful series, which was often funny, moving and sad, Paul very much giving the human angle, emphasising man's sheer adoration for dogs.

So many wonderful episodes, and I'm certain had he not passed away, he'd have still been presenting it, giving us more wonderful stories.

I have no doubts that a series of negative reviews will appear simply because of Hammond, and I get why people are sick of the sight of her, but it's worth remembering, when Paul did this show, it was all about the dogs, not about him.

9/10.
