The Dog Days of Summer

A bright spot in a dismal year.

Pull Like a Dog, a special one-hour documentary following Olympic silver medallists Paul and Gary O’Donovan ollow the brothers as they return to their parish of Lisheen and Skibbereen rowing club in the aftermath of their success.

In this clip (above), Gary and Paul and their father Teddy O’Donovan remember the first time the boys got on the water in a rowing club. Teddy says: “After that Sunday I was probably dreaming of what might be really, rather than what would be.”

Pull Like A Dog airs on Tuesday, December 27 at 9.25pm on RTÉ One.
