For The Love Of Dogs returned to our screens last night on ITV (April 16), with new host Alison Hammond at the helm. The This Morning star has taken over from the late Paul O’Grady, who sadly died in March 2023.
And, as the series has made its return, fans were left emotional as the show reflected on the death of Paul.
In the first few moments of the episode, For The Love Of Dogs remembered Paul by showcasing a heart-wrenching tribute.
For The Love Of Dogs viewers in tears over memorial
Viewers watched on as the camera panned over a tribute to Paul outside Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The plaque showed an adorable image of Paul embracing a dog. Alongside the plaque were the words: “In loving memory of our beloved ambassador.
“Paul O’Grady MBE. 1955-2023.”
Beside it, was a statue of Paul’s late dog, Buster.
Of course, the moving scenes left viewers touched, with plenty flocking to social media to share their thoughts.
