0:00:22 > 0:00:24Stop the presses!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Who wants to be in the newspaper?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28- What?- The local paper
0:00:28 > 0:00:31has finally noticed my talent as a reporter.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36They want to run a care home story and I suggested Tracy might write it.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Fancy helping me dish the dirt on the Dumping Ground?- Tracy....
0:00:40 > 0:00:42no gossip and no scandal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45What? Well, what can I write about?
0:00:45 > 0:00:51They want the truth about life in care, so tell them how tough it is.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54It's not just hanging out with your mates playing pool.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00There are deeper issues about family and loneliness, abandonment...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- all that sort of stuff. - So we can't mention Mike's...?- No.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- Or Shelley's... No.- Or Elaine's got...- No! Elaine's got what?
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Look, if I was writing it, I'd go for gritty social realism.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Do you know what I mean?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Note to self. Get a dictionary...
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..and a Dictaphone.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Taxi for Ms Cam Lawson.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You're late. No tip for you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Oh, that is rank. - Nice to see you too, Tracy.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I'm not a dog, Gary.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's not working.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43He's lost forever.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Wait...I'm getting something.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Roxy!- Sticks and stones may break my bones.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But not if I break them first.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Hi, Roxy. We're looking for Layla's dog Rufus. Have you seen him?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15What does he look like?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19He's got soft brown fur, long ears and a pink tongue.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Not any more he hasn't.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Rufus!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26ARGH-GH!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38DOG BARKS
0:02:42 > 0:02:45PIERCING SCREAM
0:02:47 > 0:02:47What?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52I needed something to keep stuff in, so I had to pull his stuffing out.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Look, he's got a lovely new collar!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And a cute little hat!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59That's not a hat.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I sewed his ear back in the wrong place.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's gonna be all right. Here...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Put this on.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- It's a charm necklace blessed with mystical powers.- How does it work?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Close your eyes, turn around twice and make a wish.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The fairy queen appears, waves her magic wand
0:03:20 > 0:03:24and turns you into a princess, I s'pose?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Don't be silly. That's my necklace with the glass beads.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34One...two.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36DOORBELL RINGS
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I told you the necklace was magic. - Yeah, right.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- There's no-one there. - So much for your stupid necklace.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Hello! Where did you come from?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- Dogs can't talk, stupid. - She must be to replace Rufus.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The necklace worked!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00"To whoever finds me,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04"my owners have split up and can't look after me any more.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09"They've left me here because you look after unwanted things."
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Ah, she can write too!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Are you ever gonna grow a brain?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The harsh reality of life in care.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Where are you gonna start? - I'm not gonna write that twaddle.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- You're not?- Don't you know how the adult mind works?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Cam wants me to write about how rubbish it is at the Dumping Ground,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34so it'll make me want to move back in with her.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36What will you write about?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41About how fun it is living here, and what a great laugh we all have.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04She can't stay here. Some potential foster parents are coming round.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- I don't want anything to put them off.- Oh, ple-ease, Shelley?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I can't have dogs running round the place.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16But she's been dumped with no-one else to look after her.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Just like us.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22She's gonna need food, exercise, entertainment...
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Just like us. What, are you saying we're too much hassle?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- No, I meant that...- We could always drop her off at a rescue centre.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- Fantastic idea!- She'll be well looked after.- It's like here really.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39A care home for dogs till they find new owners.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Won't that be great? Just like here, but not here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46But what happens to dogs that nobody wants to foster?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, they...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Well, um...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58THEY SCREAM
0:05:58 > 0:05:59What?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I only wanted them to taste my meat pie.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07It was my necklace that brought her here, so we've got to help.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Why can't she go to a rescue centre? - If no-one wants to foster her...
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Don't be daft. She'll be like us, in care until she finds a home.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21But she might not find a home without our help.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Then she's in the right place. We're fostering experts!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Think of what we can do. - She's doomed.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- We could stick posters on lamp posts.- OK, what's her name?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Er...she hasn't got one yet.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Daisy! That's a cow's name.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41My grandma was called Daisy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44She definitely reminds me of someone.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Oh, Tracy!- What?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- The dog, it looks like Tracy. - Two Beakers in one Dumping Ground.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18That's gotta be bad news. Better get cracking.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Let's show this dog that she's not alone.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Is not having parents bossing you about the biggest advantage
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- about living in care? - There is Shelley.- And Elaine.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- They tell us what to do.- True.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Er...the food. The food here is great, isn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- It was until Duke left. - OK, OK forget that question.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Let's start with something easier.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44What would you say
0:07:44 > 0:07:48is your favourite thing about living at the Dumping Ground?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Second favourite thing?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07This is a masterpiece. You'd need a heart of stone not to be moved by it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Rubbish.- Like I said, a heart of stone.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Just one more thing.- Oh, please! You don't actually believe that.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22One...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Two...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27DOORBELL RINGS
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You must be the Lucres?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Please come in. I'm Shelley Appleton.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Is it safe to leave the Ferrari there?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh my, yes, of course.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Only two seats? So you won't be taking anyone with you today then?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47We've got a people carrier for that. You can get six in the back.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50We've built a tennis court near the swimming pool.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- We'd love to have someone to share it all with us.- When can I move in?!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Think I'll go and change my socks.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Pathetic.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- So it's a big house then?- Huge.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- A gothic mansion with towers, spires and gargoyles.- Sounds pretty spooky.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Oh, it is. But if you can live with the cobwebs, it's great!
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- You're not helping.- You're making the place sound like a holiday camp.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Living in care is dull and boring.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Don't you mean a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of recreation time?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52We're getting somewhere. Anything else?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55There's no privacy for starters.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59No privacy? Don't you mean "constant care and attention"?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And people are always arguing and shouting.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Lively atmosphere.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This is good stuff. Keep it coming!
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Don't twist our words. You hate being in care.- Oh, stop whinging.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- You came limping back from the sports academy.- That's out of order.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Temper, temper.- OK, I admit it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Living at the Dumping Ground must be absolutely brilliant.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Why else would somebody who had a chance to have a home move back?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You have to come and meet these people!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53We've got a whole range of children here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's difficult to get them all together...
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Good afternoon. My name's Rio. It's a pleasure to meet you.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05May I introduce some of my friends?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Milly.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Alice.- How do you do?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Layla.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Pleased to meet you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Wolfie.- Bonjour.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Lol.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Marco.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22And this is...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Who are you?- Your sister.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Of course, this is Roxy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Oh, what an adorable group of children!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I just wish I could take all of you!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39If you come back with the people carrier,
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- we'll be ready in...half an hour? - Oh, and who's this?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Are you looking to get fostered too? - No!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Please foster her.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02We couldn't leave a cute little thing like you here!
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Actually, she's...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Got fleas.- She'll ruin your sofa!
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- She isn't housetrained. - She's vicious... She's ferocious!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:12:13 > 0:12:14What's going on?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Perhaps we'd better foster a dog to start with?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- See how it goes. - Let me get this straight.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24You came to foster a child and you're leaving with a dog?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26But she needs a good home.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31We all do! This isn't a holiday camp. It isn't fun living here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You have opportunity to change someone's life
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and you're gonna give it to a dog?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm sorry. We've decided we're taking Tracy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Me?!- No. Tracy...the dog.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00That's her name, isn't it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05The dog is called Tracy? You named that wiry haired fleabag Tracy?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- It was her.- It was him.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Roxy! There's a present for you on the driveway.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51That dog of yours must've left it. Clean it up, would you?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Alice!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- # And the fight won't get me down - No! No!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05# My dreams will turn things All around
0:14:05 > 0:14:09# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16# Believe me now I will win some day. #
