    Kira and Roy

    This episode contains discussion of terminal cancer. Please take care when listening. On the final Bound of the series, we meet Kira, the Boxer x Staffie, and her owner, Roy.  Kira is a very affectionate dog who loves a pully toy! She didn't always know how to play but once she settled with Roy and his partner, Charlotte, she soon realised how fun pulling on a toy is! Even though they never met, Kira's story is intertwined with Vinnie's, who was Roy's first ever dog. Vinnie was a Boxer x Alsatian and was Roy's canine soul mate. Roy lost Vinnie in 2018 and it's evident that it still impacts him to this day. Vinnie led a wonderful life with Roy and Charlotte, and now Kira is experiencing the same.  We also speak to Roy about his cancer diagnosis and how that has impacted him and how much of a support that Kira has been. When Roy sits down with his guitar, Kira is right there in her bed as his Number One fan.  Artwork: PaintsPylons aka Cat Downing Original Music Composition: Fraser Jackson

    Fangy, Wooster and Nick

    This week on Bound, we meet greyhounds Fangy and Wooster and their owner, Nick. Fangy and Wooster are both retired racing greyhounds, going from a life in the racing kennels in to one of many, many beds in Nick and his wife's house. Nick wasn't always a fan of dogs, his views were completely overhauled after getting his own. He went from not liking dogs and being a bit scared of larger breeds, to becoming a compassionate and loving dog carer.  We cover greyhound fashion, chattery jaws, zoomies, being strangely fixated on other greyhounds, and their owners, and much more. Lee has her own 13 and a half year old greyhound so this was one very close to her heart.  Artwork: PaintsPylons aka Cat Downing Original Music Composition: Fraser Jackson

    Penny, Bella and Sharon

    On the first episode of Bound, we meet Pug x Chihuahua, Bella, and Labrador x, Penny, along with their owner, Sharon Comrie. Sharon has dedicated her life to the welfare of animals and rescued both Bella and Penny as very young dog.  We hear how Sharon's life was changed by being one of the thousands of women impacted by complications relating to mesh surgery. This episode does contain some descriptions of the surgery and the female anatomy so may not be suitable for all audiences.  Bella is described as a bundle of joy and Penny can make you hand over your whole heart with just one look. They have been integral in Sharon's life over the recovery and are a reason for her to get out of the house and look to the future.  Artwork: PaintsPylons aka Cat Downing Original Music Composition: Fraser Jackson
