Clare Balding leaves fans ‘sobbing’ with new live show hunting for lost dogs
CLARE Balding left fans ‘sobbing’ with a new live show hunting for lost dogs.
The 52-year-old presenter fronted a new show on Channel 5 on Tuesday night, Live: Lost Dogs with Clare Balding.
In a live television first, Clare called upon the British public to help reunite lost dogs with their owners.
Some pooches have been separated from their human families for days, weeks, months and in some cases years.
The first show featured a family from the Isle of Wight who had spent six years searching for their stolen spaniel, Fern.
Clare’s show also featured a segment on some of the stray dogs that have been handed in to rescue centres across the UK.
The stories left many dog-lovers watching at home in tears.
One wrote on Twitter: “I sobbed throughout the programme. Just hoping and praying for news now.
“So grateful to #lostdogslive for including #StolenMargieandRuby xx.”
Another added of one reunion: “Tears in the eyes watching this again on #lostdogslive.”
A third tweeted that the show “has got me crying so much.”
A fellow viewer posted: “Aww a had tears in my eyes. watching Margie and Ruby getting mentioned tonight a really hope it brings some leads for you and your family.”
Live: Lost Dogs with Clare Balding airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 5.
