Synopsis
In this episode, the team looks at the special relationship between people and dogs. How much of our pets' behaviour and personality is as a result of their nature and how much comes from us? The team discovers how dogs have evolved to read us better than any other creature on the planet. The team explores the UK's top ten breeds, investigating what makes them the most popular pooches, and takes a look at the future of dogs and at emerging crossbreeds. Ruth Goodman digs deeper into the history of Greyfriars Bobby, one of the most famous dogs in the world, who kept vigil at his master's grave for 14 years. She also visits a pug dog welfare and rescue association celebration to reveal why these lapdogs have their owners wrapped around their little paws and she travels to Swimbridge in Devon, the home of the Reverend John Russell, the man who created the Jack Russell terrier.
