Pete Wicks For Dogs' Sake

Anyone else watching?

Basically a carbon copy of POGDogs but at Dogs' Trust instead of Battersea and on U+W.

The BBC missed a massive trick not getting Pete instead of Alison Hammond to fill Paul's shoes, he's perfect for this.

I've never watched Essex whatever or strictly but I think he's coming across really well on this 🐶

I can’t help it. I love Pete

I warn=med to him on Strictly but he was a little bit fish out of water.

He fits in on this brilliantly.

And such darling puppies, how can anyone resist.

I watched the first two episodes last night and absolutely loved it. I'd not heard of Pete Wicks before Strictly, but I do like his self-deprecating charm.

He was excellent in this setting, genuinely helping where he could and clearly with affection and the best interests of the dogs at heart.

It's a shame it's not on a more mainstream channel (though he was on The One Show last night plugging it, which is how I found out about it and went to watch). It's a well-made and lovely programme which deserves to be more widely seen.

Which channel is this on?

And it's channel 25 on Freeview too.

I'm surprisingly fond of FDS. Pete looks like he's always on the verge of tears.
