Bluey: How a cartoon dog became a role model for dads

A cartoon dog has become an unlikely role model for dads everywhere thanks to his fun take on modern parenting.

Bandit Heeler is the hugely popular father figure in Bluey, an Australian children's cartoon that has had hundreds of millions of views around the world.

The second series launches on BBC iPlayer on August 1 and ahead of its release we spoke to Bluey-mad dad Adam Ployd, who explains why the program is his "favorite TV show" - and how Bandit represents "dad's goals".
