Everyone’s favourite super-doggy heroes are back for more exciting dog missions in series two of Dog Squad.

The super-skilled, big hearted team of working dogs return and use their super-doggy powers to complete daily missions for their owners in this hybrid live action and animation that is coming back to CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.

Pre-schoolers and their families have already got to know these clever dogs as they navigate the world of being a real-life assistance dog, helping their owners to lead more independent lives. This new series starts with a special, super cute, ‘Pups in training’ episode where a new Dog Squad recruit is chosen to join the team from a crop of talented pups at the Puppy Cadet Training Day!

The heart-warming and funny everyday adventures help younger children understand and recognise the brilliant work of Assistance Dogs and was developed in consultation with Assistance Dogs UK, Guide Dogs UK, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Support Dogs, Therapet and the Search And Rescue Dog Association Scotland.

Kate Morton, Senior Head of Commissioning for CBeebies says: “Our amazing real life superhero pups are back on CBeebies, educating our pre-school audience about the incredible work Dog Squad do every day. Learning how each assistance dog is trained differently and making us smile at the same time.”

Terri Langan, Head of Children's at Hello Halo says: “The latest missions in series two really bring to life the important work our dogs do and the huge impact they make to the lives of their handlers and their families. Whether they are helping litter picking, finding treasure, a tricky visit to the vets and even rescuing a stranded mountain biker– the Dog Squad are here to offer a helping paw or four.”
