The RSPCA carries out a joint operation with the police and trading standards officers to raid a farm and rescue neglected animals.

RSPCA inspector Keith Hogben revisits a farm in Wales where both farmer and dogs are living in shocking conditions; he has warned the owner before to clean up or give up the dogs.

RSPCA inspector Sara Hughes visits a house where a skinny ridgeback is home alone with apparently nothing to eat; as dogs are entirely reliant on their owners for food, water and shelter, Sara is concerned about the condition of the dog.

In Manchester, an owner absconds, leaving some 20 feral dogs locked inside the house as a dogfight breaks out; on a sunny day in Bristol, a small dog locked in a car is in danger of roasting alive.

RSPCA officers come to the rescue of a pair of dogs kept in atrocious conditions and a dog locked in a tiny conservatory on a hot summer's day.

Kate and Becky join up with the police to save some dogs from an owner who has been banned from keeping animals; in Birmingham, Herchy Boal discovers a skinny Dalmatian in desperate need of veterinary treatment.
