E01 | Lost Dog, Found Dog | Episode 1

Clare Balding is back celebrating the unbreakable bond between us humans and our best friends – dogs! This episode is packed with extraordinary stories of lost dogs being found and reunited with their owners, including the tale of spaniel Figgy who fell over 300 feet down a cliff and survived; the owner who resorted to desperate measures to bring back her beloved french bulldog Daisy who was missing for eight weeks; and Jazz, the working cocker spaniel who disappeared from a farm in Wales and turned up over fifty miles away in an ambulance. Jazz was identified because her owner had never given up hope and had kept Jazz’s microchip details up to date. Reporter Chloe Fuller meets 11-year-old Poppy whose owner had to give her up when they lost their home. We find out how her forever family treasure her even more, and appreciate the selfless, extraordinary brave action of her previous owner. Also in the show, presenter Clare Balding joins a litter of staffie puppies as they visit the vet to be microchipped; she finds out how to train your dog in recall, so they are less likely to go missing; a dog warden explains to Clare what happens when they find a lost dog; and we get tips from the online community on how to keep our dogs entertained with toys made cheaply. She also meets 7-month old lurcher Webster who has lost his home and needs a new one! There’s a roundup of tearful lost dog reunions, and Clare brings us an update on Teddy and Bear, two lost dogs who were found after featuring in our last live series."
