Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I’m an animal person (dog sitter) so i absolutely love these stories…brings happy tears to my eyes
Incredible stories by and for dog people
I love this podcast! Incredible and interesting stories about the human dog connection. Host Laura treats the topic with reverence and dignity, also humor and joy. She lets the stories speak for themselves as an interviewer. You’ll laugh and cry, and if you’re like my, feel connected to other animal people in the world, a world that often feels harsh to animals and animal people. (Also I just discovered the instagram account and having a great time seeing the photos of everyone!) Thanks for putting something good in the world, and boosting stories about how important, sentient, and emotionally in tune animals are.
Love it but…
I love the stories. Very uplifting. My one critique is I wish the podcaster would add a link to the dogs Facebook page, Instagram, etc. if they have one. A picture of the dog would be awesome also! To put a face with the story. Please consider doing both!
