Pete Wicks: For Dogs' Sake

Pete journeys to Northern Ireland to collect three stray dogs and bring them back to his home in Essex. While on the trip, he also meets a Shar Pei that is in constant pain. The dog may require surgery to relieve its suffering.

The episode titled is a programme that follows a single, self‑contained story. It’s presented as a straightforward slice of life, focusing on a particular journey and the animals involved, without any broader narrative framing. In the centre of the episode is Pete, who sets off for Northern Ireland with the aim of rescuing three stray dogs. He locates the dogs, arranges their transport, and then makes the return trip to Essex, where he plans to give them a permanent home. During the same outing Pete encounters a Shar Pei that is suffering from constant pain. The dog’s condition appears serious enough that surgery may be required to alleviate its discomfort. The episode therefore weaves together two parallel strands: the logistical effort of retrieving the three stray dogs and the compassionate concern for the Shar Pei’s health. Both storylines are handled within the same travel narrative, highlighting Pete’s commitment to helping the animals he meets along the way.
