For the Love of Dogs S05E05 - Episode 5

In today's episode, Paul's left lost for words when he meets abandoned stray spaniel Willow - she was found tied up to a tree outside Battersea's Old Windsor site in a dreadful condition, suffering from a terrible eye infection as well as awful skin. Thankfully though, this charming spaniel's playful spirit hasn't been broken and Paul quickly falls head over heels for her indomitable spirit. He sets to work trying to get this heartbreaker back on her feet as he nurses her through numerous treatments - but will Willow manage to overcome her long list of problems?

Paul also meets enthusiastic Bud the record-breaking Collie Greyhound cross. Sadly for Bud though, he holds Battersea's most unwanted record - he is their longest resident having been at the kennels for over two years! Bud is a real softie but his Achilles heel is his boundless energy - he is full of life and so in need of a very specific type of owner who can cater for his energetic demands! Paul arranges for Bud to enter a doggie fun run where he'll be on show to lots of like-minded, athletic dog lovers - will he catch somebody's eye and finally end his marathon stay in kennels?

Finally Paul takes on the role of doggie masseur to Jenson the staffie, who suffered accidental permanent scarring on his back that has left his skin dry and itchy. This uncomfortable problem has left Jenson struggling with kennel life, so Paul tries to alleviate his blues by putting his magic hands to work moisturising Jenson's back to try and make his skin silky smooth - will the spa treatment work in cheering up Jenson?
