Meet the Pups

The main canine characters are introduced just before the birth of their litter.

The dogs are 10 days old and are getting bigger and stronger - but they still have not opened their eyes.

The puppies get into all sorts of mischief with each other as they start to get stronger and more confident.

The puppies know just how to tease their parents with tasty treats.

Pups and parents play together and the pups learn more about their environment.

The day starts with the usual playtime, but when someone says the V word, who knows what could happen? Our furry friends go in the car to get checked by the vet. Will the first visit be scary or boring? Well, it's really both, but the pups take it in their stride and - as usual - end up asleep.

A whole new world opens up to the tiny pups as they are encouraged to go outside for the first time. New smells and sights are exciting for some, but scary for others. Luckily, Mum is there to show them that the big wide world is fun and nothing to be afraid of.

You'd better run for cover when the pups grow up! The pack dynamic is changing with every passing day of our puppies' lives. Mum and Dad are going to have to redraw some lines or embrace change.

With our pups nearly ready to depart for new lives, they must be taught how to behave outside the safety of their pack. Nobody likes a badly behaved dog! Noises, other dogs and teething are now an unavoidable part of the puppies' lives. It's a dog's life!

It is time for the puppies to go off to new lives, but not before the four-legged family pose for a final family photo.
