Episode 3
Pete Wicks meets Dave the puppy who needs urgent treatment for a badly broken leg. As well as a young Doberman called Olive, who has spent three quarters of her life in quarantine kennels.
Pete Wicks is back helping at the Essex Dogs Trust centre when an injured terrier puppy called Dave is rushed in. He was dumped by his owners with what appears to be a badly broken front leg. After assessing Dave, the team rush him to a specialist vet surgeon who will try to fix the break, but if they can’t, it may involve amputation for poor Dave.
A young Doberman named Olive arrives in the intake area after she was smuggled into the country from Serbia. She was seized at the port and has since spent three quarters of her short life in quarantine kennels. After such a difficult start, Olive is now very afraid, especially of thresholds and doorways. Pete and the behavioural team will need to pull out all the stops to try to build Olive’s confidence up before she can even hope to find a home.
As well as helping with Dave and Olive, Pete’s on hand for even more puppies keep coming in as a litter of four huge Irish Doodles have come into the centre with unusual medical symptoms, that could be deadly.
