How do you know that Theo Paphitis will not be a good owner ? He is a very nice person & has been looking for a dog(actually a puppy at the begining)for a good while, he has cleary bonded with Claudia. Just because he is a millionaire doesn't mean he won't be "hands on"

Surprised you were watching the program as isn't it expoiting the dogs for entertainment ?

i must admit i thought the money would go to dogs trust or other animal charities. although i dont begrudge it going to children in need. maybe there should be another charity programme for animals called 'animals in need'?

I really enjoyed the show last night, I think that it is a good way to highlight that (as previously said) not all rescue dogs are untrainable nightmares as some people seem to believe.

Was very impressed with Julia & Cookie, for someone who was so honest about not knowing anything about dogs & being worried around them, she had formed a clear bond with Cookie (I loved how she instantly sat when told )

Mishal & Robson were very good, boy does he have a lot of potential!!

Hopefully this programme will continue to raise the profile of rescue dogs.

Yes I think thats more of what the show was meant to do, highlight that rescue dogs are there and are needing homes, I hope that works.

I thought it was a bit strange that 12p of the phone call goes to Children in Need(although its a great charity) and Not the Rescue Centre.

But apart from that I thought the Programme was great

I enjoyed watching the programme and I hope it raises the profile of rescues/ rescue dogs in general.

There is no way I could vote for any of the dogs, I feel so sad to think that any of them had ended up in a rescue in the first place, to vote any one of them off would seem like further rejecting them to me

I know I am missing the point somewhat and probably taking it too seriously, and we are supposed to be voting on the handlers/dogs abilities, but given the sad circumstances of each dog I don't think you can quantify ability.

I think all the dogs included are just lovely and they are all winners.
