Following Benji Webbe and Fran Donovan as they attempt to find new homes for rescue animals. They try to match the Barrett family from Cardiff with the dog of their dreams.

Heavy metal singer and dog lover Benji Webbe joins forces with volunteer pet rescuer and presenter Fran Donovan to find homes for some of Wales's abandoned puppies and strays. They are on a mission to match unwanted dogs with loving new families, visiting animal shelters all over Wales on their quest to find the dogs who need their help the most. In this episode, they try to match the Barrett family from Cardiff with the dog of their dreams. Mum Emma and dad Connor want a family pet for their three children, and middle son Owen - who has autism and wants a four-legged friend the most - is the one who will be making the big decision to choose a new dog from four hopeful candidates selected by Benj and Fran.

While Benj scours the rescue kennels at Newport City Dogs Home, Fran spends the day searching through the lost-and-found pets at Cardiff Dogs Home - a place where she regularly volunteers as a dog-walker. The pair also arrange for mum Emma to meet another parent with an autistic child who has adopted rescue dogs to give their daughter help and companionship with her condition.

Packed with tips on dog care, this is a fun and heartwarming show which celebrates animals and their champions in Wales.
