Oh My Dog! with Jack Dee and Seann Walsh

Part Two of this week's episode: our chat with the brilliant Paul Tonkinson is finally here! 🐾
Paul tells us all about cockapoo, Billie Jean, from morning garden rituals and gentle parenting approaches to the dog-related reason he had to postpone running an ultra marathon across the Sahara.
We also hear about the dogs that came before Billie Jean, why dogs make the best therapists, whether running with your dog is ever a good idea, and the lengths Paul went to in order to make this interview happen after technical gremlins struck.
Plus: dog nicknames, microwaved dog bowls, and the all-important question... does Billie Jean kiss Paul on the mouth?
Paul's hilarious book, Running Through Sand: An Aging Comedian's Ill Thought Out Ultra in the Sahara, is out now.

Due to a technical hiccup, this week's episode of Oh My Dog is coming to you in two parts. 🐾
In part one, Jack reflects on scattering the ashes of his beloved dogs, Seann shares an update on Mildred's new garden adventures, and Sara reports back from a fascinating Dogs Trust event at St James's Palace. There's also plenty of chat about rescue dogs, Staffies, fake plants and why sometimes taking a short break from your dog isn't such a bad thing.
And don't worry - Paul Tonkinson is still joining us. Unfortunately, a missing audio track means we'll be re-recording our conversation with Paul this week, and we'll bring you part two on Tuesday.
Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back here very soon for the rest of the episode.

Olympic cycling legend Victoria Pendleton joins Jack, Seann and Sara this week.
Victoria tells us about her inspiring new book, The Fear Opportunity, and why stepping outside your comfort zone can transform your life. From Olympic gold medals to skydiving, fear of failure, and learning to embrace new challenges, it's a fascinating conversation about courage, resilience and growth.
Plus, we meet Victoria's beloved dogs Valor the Belgian Malinois and Leilo the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and hear why high-drive dogs need jobs to do, and discover how dogs have helped bring balance to her life.

We take a deep dive into your brilliant messages, photos and videos - including a very spoiled senior staffy, a cockapoo who builds herself a sofa nest every night, and one listener whose dog nickname somehow evolved into simply “Poo”.
The gang discuss dog greetings, emotional goodbye routines at the window, tattoos inspired by beloved pets - Sara shares a touching tribute to a cockapoo called Dexter, and whether Jack should get a face tattoo.
