It's the final episode of the series, and today's dogs are all in need of an O'Grady shoulder to lean on. First up Paul meets the implausibly cute Dudley, an Old English Sheepdog who is just six-weeks old and looks like a fluffy teddy bear. Old English Sheepdogs rarely come into Battersea, but Dudley's an exception because the little guy is profoundly deaf, which means puppy training is proving tricky.

Paul rushes to Intensive Care to help nurse the poorly pups - but as they're so small and vulnerable, will they be strong enough to pull through?

And not content with just 10 puppies, Paul also tries to get to grips with fiesty Collie pup Tilly who's just arrived into Lost and Found. But the energetic tyke proves to be a real handful so Paul enlists the help of 13-year dog lover Paige, who's at Battersea with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to help get Tilly on the straight and narrow.

Finally Paul takes on the role of doggie masseur to Jenson the staffie, who suffered accidental permanent scarring on his back that has left his skin dry and itchy.

In today's episode, Paul falls hook, line and sinker for charming toothless Boxer Prince.
