Paul O’Grady: For The Love Of Dogs returns

During the programme, Paul met a four-month-old shih tzu called Daisy with a serious health condition.

The adorable pup needed surgery to help with a liver problem, but unfortunately she wasn’t old enough yet.

As Daisy prepared for the life-changing op, she was put on medication twice a day to help with her problems.

Later on in the show, the dog was seen undergoing surgery.

Thankfully, Daisy managed to survive the operation and was rehomed by none other than Geri Horner.

The programme also saw Paul with a pair of nervous chihuahuas and a boisterous mutt.
