A dachshund is brought in by owners Kelly and Daniel to see if anything can be done to repair a deformity in its foot, and Noel Fitzpatrick gives the one-year-old a lesson in doggy discipline along the way. A 10-month-old labrador needs a hip replacement before it can begin training as a medical-alert dog to help its owner with her rare health condition. An eight-year-old shih-tzu has the most extraordinary walk the vet has ever seen, but the operation to fix the dog's spine will be extremely risky, presenting the owners with an agonising decision.
