This Morning dog Buddy appeared on the show with Dermot O’Leary and Lisa Snowdon today (May 16) after a long hiatus.
Viewers have followed Buddy’s journey as he trains to become an assistance dog for Dogs for Autism since he was a tiny puppy.
However, he hasn’t been on screen for a while, and his trainer Hilary brought him onto the show today to explain why, and reveal that Buddy has been involved in a “nasty accident”.
This Morning dog Buddy returns to show
Introducing the segment, host Dermot O’Leary said: “Now, he’s a much-loved member of the This Morning team. And you might have noticed little Buddy has been missing in action for a while.”
Alison Hammond’s stand-in Lisa Snowdon then added: “That’s because he’s been recovering from a nasty accident. But thankfully he’s back in his paws and he joins us alongside his Dogs for Autism trainer, Hilary.”
Dermot then quipped: “Hilary, he’s a beast, look at the size of him!” “He’s 17 months old now,” she revealed.
“You are covered in Buddy fluff,” Lisa chuckled, as Dermot threw himself on the floor to stroke Buddy. “’’”
