    Wings of Hope: The Hero Behind Flying Fur Animal Rescue

    This week on A Dog’s Devotion, I sit down with the founder of Flying Fur Animal Rescue — a U.S. Army veteran whose life of service didn’t end when he left the military. Instead, it took flight in a whole new way. He shares how Flying Fur Animal Rescue began, what keeps him going through the heartbreak, and why this work is so important — now more than ever. As a pilot, rescuer, and deeply compassionate human, he flies animals out of desperate situations, giving them a second chance at life when they need it most. His dedication, courage, and commitment to service make him the true definition of a hero. This episode is also a gentle reminder — inspired by my beloved Max — that every act of kindness matters. Whether you’re rescuing animals, fostering, donating, volunteering, sharing stories, or simply loving a dog deeply, the work we all do — no matter how big or small — truly makes a difference. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for listening and for being part of this compassionate, dog-loving community. Your support means everything. 🤍 If this episode moves you, please follow me on Instagram @cbosacki, share the episode, and help spread the message that together, we can change lives — one rescue, one story, one dog at a time. 🐾✈️ You can watch the full interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GJFahHxT0J8 You can follow Flying Fur Animal Rescue on Instagram or Facebook at: @flyingfuranimalrescue Thank you for listening, Carla xo

    Deeper Love: The Gift of Older Dogs

    Welcome back! A Dog's Devotion is kicking off a brand new year. We hope you enjoyed your holidays, and spent some time relaxing and enjoying the company of loved ones.We took some time off, and are now refreshed and ready for the new adventures that 2026 will bring. We also welcomed a new member of our family, Smokey. A 7 year old Yorkie who we rescued from Adopt & Save a Life Rescue in Florida. He will never replace the love l had for Max, that will never go away. However, the sound of little paws running around, the dog cuddles and kisses are so nice to have again.  This is the first episode of 2026, and it is a special one. For any of you who have loved a senior dog, adopted a senior dog, and then ultimately had to say goodbye to a senior this one will touch your heart.  In this very special first episode of 2026, A Dog’s Devotion explores the extraordinary bond we share with older dogs — a love that is quiet, patient, and profoundly unconditional. Inspired by the beautiful book Unconditional: Older Dogs, Deeper Love, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that senior dogs don’t come with less love — they come with more. Older dogs teach us how to slow down, how to be present, and how to love without expectations. Their eyes hold stories, their hearts hold gratitude, and their devotion runs deeper than words can express. This episode is for anyone who has loved a senior dog, lost one, or is considering opening their heart to an older pup who still has so much love to give. It’s about choosing compassion, honoring experience, and recognizing that sometimes the most meaningful love arrives when we least expect it. Thank you to my guest Jane Sobel Klonsky for joining me, talking about your book and sharing your love of senior dogs. xo Carla  🐾💛

    “Beagles, Freedom, and Fighting for Justice”

    This week on A Dog’s Devotion, I sit down with Shannon Keith, the powerhouse founder of the Beagle Freedom Project — an organization that has changed the future for thousands of animals used in research labs around the world. Shannon’s mission is both courageous and urgent: rescuing beagles and other animals from laboratory testing, fighting the systems that keep them hidden, and giving these dogs the chance to experience love, sunshine, and freedom for the first time in their lives. In this emotional and eye-opening conversation, Shannon shares: 🐾 Why beagles are the number one breed used in testing (and what most people don’t know). 🐾 How Beagle Freedom Project rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs who’ve never stepped outside a cage. 🐾 The incredible transformations these animals undergo once they finally experience compassion. 🐾 The legal battles, the victories, and the ongoing fight to change outdated laws. 🐾 What we can all do to help end animal testing — and support the dogs still waiting for freedom. This is a powerful episode that will move you, challenge you, and remind you why the human-animal bond is worth fighting for. If you love dogs, care about justice, or want to learn what’s really happening behind closed doors, you won’t want to miss this conversation. As always thank you for listening, this episode will really open your eyes to the amount of dog testing that is still going on across the US, right in our own backyard, in places you would never guess. It is so sad to see these poor helpless animals suffer, and l am hoping this episode will shine a light on this so more people can get involved to stop it.  Thank you,  Carla
