Walking with dogs, on BBC 2 now?

 

[Dobiegirl]

I am, not impressed so far,its people who walk their dogs in Richmond? Park in London.

I lost BBC2 in the switchover last week and I am too lazy to plug in the digibox thingy

 

[reddie]

It's about people who walk dogs on Hampstead Heath. It's more about the people's stories. I'm pretty nosy so am finding it quite interesting!

 

[Dobiegirl]

CC you are not missing anything, lots of fur babies and very fat dogs. There was even 2 GSD wearing coats, you would have hated that.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Oooh...I would love to know the story about the guy I saw on Parliament Hill a couple of times - he had a ballchucker and a collie and while the collies was off after the ball he would do tai chi moves!! I wonder if he will be on it....


Well, I have made mine wear...a jumper...shhhhh!!!

 

[Bosworth]

Lots of very strange people

Yeh, Freya was glued to it! I only caught the second half but there were some very overweight dogs, and a very lame staffy. I thought it was quite sad in places, but touching in that it showed how important their dogs are to some people. And yes CC there were 2 long coat GSDs in coats, and possibly saw your tai chi guy in the background.

allowing your child to walk up to a bloody great big dog you have had for 2 months, lifting its ear and then blowing a whistle thing down it is how kids get bitten- and deservedly so! EEJIT!!!

Think they picked all the nutters to make better TV!!!

 

[MurphysMinder]

I missed that Lexie. What was the story with the GSD bitch and the new baby too, they seemed very concerned that the dog might be a problem with the baby, were they being paranoid or was there a reason for it? From the bit I saw near the end they weren't very sensible owners, not checking the dog for growling, letting it on furniture etc.

 

[lexiedhb]

The GSD was fine, owners had their heads screwed on- it was the makers of the film bangin on and on about " do you think it is a good idea to have dogs and a baby" yadda yadda............

They were the same with the guy with the DDB- banging on about how they felt intimidated when they saw the dog etc etc if that why he got it .......

 

[EAST KENT]

Absolutely loved it,people are so interesting,and Hampstead Heath..what a wonderful park! Lucy and I were enthralled and may rewatch it,lovely.Good night viewing with this and Paul O`Grady.

Thought it was a great programme. The woman in the hostel was an interesting story (if we could have known the whole thing), and the couple who'd lost their son in a sky diving accident.

Prize for the best dog had to go to Zen, the incredibly happy little staffy.

 

[JennBags]

We recorded it & have just watched it (after putting Suzie into her cage & covering it with a blanket )

I really enjoyed it there were only a couple of overweight dogs, I was also shocked by the GSD's with coats on; and disgusted by the toddler whistling in the DDB's ear What a good dog to just get up & move away though

Amymay, I would have liked to know more about that poor woman's story, I was close to tears when she was talking about not wanting to wake up

On the whole, I thought it showed how important dogs are to people, and what a comfort they are

 

[wildwest]

poor man in hospital .
