A Dog's Devotion

Carla Bosacki

*A Dog’s Devotion* is a podcast dedicated to those who love and care for senior dogs — the companions who give us their whole lives, even though their time with us is far too short. As our dogs age, the journey changes. It becomes more complex, more emotional, and at times, incredibly difficult. This podcast is here to walk that path with you. We talk about everything that matters in your dog’s later years — from proper nutrition and asking the right questions at the vet, to recognizing quality of life, making the heartbreaking decision of euthanasia, and navigating the grief that follows the loss of a beloved companion. Born from my own experience with my rescue dog Max, *A Dog’s Devotion* is a place for honest conversations, expert insight, and shared understanding. Because loving a senior dog is one of the greatest gifts — and one of the hardest goodbyes. If you have questions, fears, or simply want to feel less alone on this journey, this podcast is for you.

    Because They Deserve a Chance: Inside the World of Dog Rescue

    This week on A Dog’s Devotion, we shine a light on the extraordinary work of Three Little Pitties Rescue — a rescue saving all dog breeds and cats, and proving every single life matters. Dog rescue in our country has never been more important. Shelters are overwhelmed. The need is constant. And yet… thousands of people show up anyway. Transport drivers. Foster families. Behavior teams. Volunteers. Donors. Quiet heroes working behind the scenes. Today, I speak with one of the incredible women making it happen — one of the boots-on-the-ground voices in a movement fueled by compassion and action. From Texas to the Pacific Northwest, the East Coast, and the Midwest, they are moving animals from heartbreak to hope. Please follow their lifesaving work and daily updates on Instagram: @threelittlepittiesrescue And thank you — to you. A Dog’s Devotion has just been named one of the Top 39 Dog Podcasts in the Country. That honor belongs to this community. It breaks my heart that we still have to keep having these conversations about dog rescue. But we will continue. We will continue to share the stories. We will continue to amplify the people — just like you and me — who refuse to look away and are determined to save a dog’s life.And you can follow on with me @adogsdevotion1, where l continue to share my love and grief of loosing Max, to learning to love another little soul who was so badly in need of a loving home. Dogs are the best, and l prefer them over most people.God bless every single one of them. xoxo

    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  🐾💛
