On this episode of Straight Up Dog Talk Em and Josh visit with Joel who shares his story of losing their first family dog and moving onto a breed he never thought he would own.  While the original plan was to foster, the story quickly reveals that Joel went from intending foster, to foster fail, with not just one dog but two pretty quickly. 
Joel’s positive attitude and genuine love for dogs are truly a wonderful reminder that our relationship with dogs is all about love and pure joy. Abner and Cass are both extremely unique dogs who were lucky to find a home with Joel. If nothing else, this episode reveals that a little patience, love, and a lot of snuggles go a LONG way.

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains graphic details and emotions regarding euthanizing a pet due to severe aggression. Both Em and Lana, get very real and very emotional. This is not an episode for children and maybe not one to listen to at work, at least not without headphones.
 
Being a dog guardian comes with a lot of responsibility and a lot of tough decisions. From start to finish the dog’s life and well-being is in YOUR hands. This includes having to make the very difficult decision to let your pet go when things start to go very wrong.
 
On this episode of Straight Up Dog Talk, Lana, and Em both share personal stories about having a dog with idiopathic aggression, also known as rage syndrome. This condition is NOT treatable and is in the best interest of all parties to take action to make sure that everyone remains safe. 
 
Unfortunately due to the lack of education and information available on this topic people don’t know what to do in these situations. We are here to tell you that you are NOT alone and you have support. If you are experiencing situations like the ones in this episode, please do not hesitate to ask for help if needed. Our mission is to educate on this topic so that other people are not suffering in silence.
