Episode description

It's no secret - we LOVE dogs. We love how they can bring calm to the chaos; how they love us unconditionally and how they lift our spirits when they meet us at the door.  But we are deeply saddened by the reality that hundreds of thousands of dogs are euthanized each year. 

This podcast explores the scientific reasons why dogs are good for our health, explains the current shelter situation in our country, and offers all kinds of ways that we all can do our part to improve it.
