Alan Davies describes the show as, "“It’s nice television,” says Alan, 48. “Yes, there are sad stories, but there are some funny ones, too. At the end of the show, we give viewers the opportunity to put themselves forward if they would be keen to rehome any dogs, so hopefully that will have a positive outcome, too.”[2]
The show takes place in different parts of the UK, helping dogs who were neglected, abused, or abandoned. Throughout the documentary the audience will see the insides of a vet clinic and their process they do in order to help the dogs.
