WIRRAL RSPCA Inspector Anthony Joynes is back in the new hit TV series of The Dog Rescuers.

Biomedical science graduate Insp Joynes features in episode two which will be broadcast next week.

The show features a man about to be made homeless putting his dog’s needs before his own and, with Inspector Joynes's help, tries to find "Dude" a roof over his head so he doesn’t have to live with him on the streets.

Anthony has been involved in many high-profile prosecutions against cruel owners since he joined the RSPCA seven years ago.

He said he became an inspector for the charity as wanted to make a difference in the area where he grew up.

He not only likes to help animals but also likes to bring some positives to people’s lives while out on the job.

Anthony has from time to time lost sleep thinking about the animals that he rescues and he "loves to catch those that mistreat them."

Alan Davies returns as host for a fourth series of Dog Rescuers.

Viewers will follow the familiar faces of the RSPCA’s finest plus some new friends as they continue their crusade against cruelty and neglect of dogs.

The series features dramatic rescues, inspirational rehabilitations and heart-warming rehomings, plus the four-legged heroes who work on our behalf, new ways to bond with man’s best friend, and the life of a rescue pup from birth and all the way to adulthood.

Dog Rescuers will be aired on Tuesday, June 28, at 8pm, on Channel 5.
