In this, the first of three hour-long live episodes, Clare Balding enlists the help of the nation to help track down a selection of missing dogs which have been separated from their heartbroken families for weeks, months, and, in some cases, years.

Anyone watching the programme who has any information as to the whereabouts of these lost dogs, is urged to contact the programme anonymously, and any useful leads will be passed on to a nationwide network of volunteers who specialise in reuniting missing dogs with their owners. Clare also showcases several stray dogs who have been handed into rescue centres across the UK, and whose owners cannot be located.

Also in the first edition, roving reporter Storm Huntley visits the Isle of Wight to meet a family who spent six years looking for their beloved stolen spaniel Fern. Dr Amir Kahn, of GPs: Behind Closed Doors fame, offers insight into the importance of bonding with a new puppy to prevent it from running away and getting lost. JB Gill heads to Cornwall to train with sniffer dogs who are experts in tracking other dogs that are lost. And Michelle Ackerley spends a day with a team of pet detectives, learning about the techniques they employ to return much-loved missing and stolen dogs to their owners.
