As a dog owner I stumbled across this series and really like it. It shows a dog rescue charity matching dogs with potential owners. What really brings it to life is the wide variety of back stories of the owners, who are often surprising and easy to emphasise with, and the dogs (ditto) while there is a segment at the end which shows how things turned at the home environment some time later .
The rescue centre itself is immaculately kept and very well staffed - probably a cut above the average compared to some more amateur but well meaning sites.
The process is a bit formulaic, eg CCTV commentaries by a group of staff watching the dog meet its potential owners in a controlled environment, and the choice of dogs offered can seem a bit random and limited.
Nevertheless it is a very heartwarming show and also teaches a lot about the advantages/disadvantages/pitfalls of dog ownership. Good camerawork and well editted. Great viewing for all the family, except our dogs who will bark at anything four legged on the telly....
