Puppy Farm Special
41min - In this special puppy-focused episode of the Dog Rescuers, we see the RSPCA conclude their longest running puppy farm investigation: Operation Pagan. It’s estimated that one in three dog owners in Britain have unknowingly bought their puppy from a puppy farm and, in this special episode, Alan Davies reveals how the RSPCA cracked one of Britain’s biggest puppy farm operations in Manchester. Operation Pagan lasted 5 years and we will see exclusive footage from the raid and talk to the Special Operations Officers who conducted the investigation, who explain how they managed to bring this barbaric business to an end. Puppies can be a bit of a handful, and we join Lynn Marshall as she goes to the aid of a man who’s struggling to look after a rather large litter of nine puppies. Although it’s clear the owner cares for the dogs, it’s not long before the parents have to be signed over too. The poor owner says goodbye to his best friends. Giving up a dog isn’t easy, something Herchy Boal knows all too well. Meet Murphy, the puppy who captured the heart of one of our favourite RSPCA inspectors. Join Herchy as she takes Murphy to meet up with his brothers and sisters. Shiloh gives birth to eight healthy puppies. One of the puppies, Dobby, is adopted by the McBrides and forms a special bond with Daniel McBride. We follow the family as Dobby is taken to puppy training. And there’s a Dog Rescuers first: Alan Davies appeals directly to the public to try and find a home for Bruce and Rebel.
