Paul and the team are left baffled by a mystery illness which is making a young lurcher pup desperately ill. He also meets a gorgeous Staffie who is too scared to leave her kennel. Paul uses every trick up his sleeve to try and coax her out into the big wide world. And he meets a tiny old Yorkie, with awful breath, who needs a bit of a makeover.

Paul has his work cut out this time at Battersea as he meets an elderly Chihuahua with no end of ailments. He also helps a dangerously overweight beagle-basset hound cross lose some serious weight and tries to bring a nervous Labrador cross out of his shell over at Old Windsor.
