Despite Mixed Reactions, Hammond Commits to Continuing 'Brilliant Work' at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home

Alison Hammond, known for shows such as This Morning and The Great British Bake Off, has been announced as the new host of ITV's For the Love of Dogs, following the death of previous host Paul O'Grady.
The show, which goes behind the scenes at Battersea Cats and Dogs Home to find new owners for its animal residents, will return in the spring with a new title: For the Love of Dogs with Alison Hammond.
Hammond has expressed her excitement about the role and her commitment to continuing the 'brilliant work' done at Battersea, despite some negative reactions from netizens questioning her suitability for the role.
Paul O'Grady, who hosted the show for over a decade, was a beloved figure and a dedicated animal rights advocate, leaving a significant legacy behind.
The airing dates for the upcoming 12th season of For the Love of Dogs, now hosted by Hammond, are yet to be announced by ITV.
