The Great Dane on wheels
Gemma McKee was a professional dancer and stunt performer but two years ago her career was ruined in under a minute. During a synchronised dive routine she smashed both of her heels in half and was told she would never walk again.
With the help of her great dane Cesar she gradually got back on her feet but at the beginning of this year she was left heartbroken when Cesar suffered a back injury, leaving him unable to use his rear legs. Determined to help him like he helped her Cesar is now back on his feet with the help of a specialised cart. Gemma and Cesar are both here today.
The wrong crowd
Karen Atkinson was just 11 years old when she tried her first cigarette - succumbing to peer pressure for fear of looking un-cool. However, one puff soon turned into many, and age 13 she was trying cocaine and ecstasy, becoming addicted age 15.
It wasn't until she witnessed an overdose, that she decided to turn her life around. Today, she's joined by her mum Linda who both believe parents need to be more aware about the initial signs of drug abuse, and that both communication and education is an absolute must to keep children safe.
Later in the show, parenting expert Liz Frazer answered calls from viewers who were worried about their own children falling in with the wrong friends. Watch her advice here:
