CELEBRATE OUR DOGS

ME AND MY DOG: THE ULTIMATE CONTEST BBC TWO IN APRIL. CHECK RADIO TIMES.

The bond between man and dog goes back thousands of years, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before we had a TV show dedicated to this enduring relationship. Me And My Dog will see eight people and their dogs competing in a series of physical and mental challenges, designed to find out who has the closest relationship with their canine companion.

Presented by Chris Packham over four weeks, the contest takes place amidst the rugged terrain of the Lake District, with disciplines including paddleboarding, canine parkour, and a tethered cross country run. Along the way, we’ll learn about the science of dog training, and find out just what makes the human-pooch bond so strong.
