New presenter for The Love of Dogs!

who do you think would be good Alison Hammond.

“I am very aware that I can never replace the iconic Paul in this wonderful series,” said Hammond.

Well, if the dogs don't like her .........

Could it get any worse?

How about someone with a definite interest in dogs - Robson Green or Matt Baker?
Clare Balding?

Oh, not Clare Balding please!
Nor Kate Humble

Has she said that she has no interest🤷‍♀️

Oh, do give the woman a chance! The dogs will soon let her know if they don't like her and we all aware. that Paul left some really wonderful boots to fill.

Paul had a pretty raucous voice, but the dogs loved him. Give Alison a chance! I am convinced that she has a gentle side. The loud side is encouraged for daytime TV. It will be down to the producers.

I can’t think of anybody worse but please not Matt Baker, Claire Balding ot Kate Humble.

I would go for Ben Fogle or Nikki Chapman.

Not a fan of Nikki myself, but apparently lots of votes for Martin Clunes.

Ben Fogle's father is a vet and co-founder of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Ben is a "doggy" person.

Definitely Martin Clunes

I don’t think Paul is actually replaceable, this show was his element.i just hope that the love he genuinely felt and showed for dogs is also felt by Alison, I don’t know enough about her to know if she’s a dog owner and lover.

I have no idea who she is and the comments here and on another thread don’t encourage me to find out.

Oh yes. Martin Clunes would be perfect.

I wonder if the lovely Nigel Clarke likes dogs. He's brilliant with small people on CBeebies' Toddler Club and very easy on the eye for grannies.

Dogs know whether people genuinely like them or not. All dogs flock to my husband as he loves dogs. My daughter’s partner is not keen and has never owned a dog. I was dogsitting a friend’s dog and he walked in and the dog snarled at him!

No idea why Alison Hammond is so popular with TV right now but I am sick of seeing and hearing her on everything.

He's not replaceable, is he.

The programme does need to continue, though, to highlight the work that Battersea Dogs' Home does and to encourage people to come forward to adopt these unwanted dogs and cats.

We'll have to see how it goes.

I wonder if they’ve thought to ask Queen Camilla who she’d like to do it?

She had a great rapport with Paul o’Grady and is patron of Battersea DH.

Actually, she’d be great at the job herself, she is definitely a grade A dog lover.

I am obviously in the minority as I like Alison Hammond.

Another vote for Martin Clunes.

I am obviously in the minority as I like Alison Hammond.

I like her as well. I don't understand all the vitriol

Martin clones or Robson green gets my vote.

Martin Clunes please!
But the dogs are the stars of the show as Paul O Grady used to say, so maybe we shouldn't mind too much who the human is.
