Customer Reviews
Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make your day better
With so much going on in the world, it is so nice to be able to have something that you can listen to that will bring your attention to the good that is going on around us. Dogs are such incredible and healing animals, and listening to these stories of these amazing dogs and humans truly is encouraging. So many unique stories and lives changed, it definitely gives you those “feels” we all need to have, especially now. I highly recommend this podcast. I only wish I knew about it sooner, but now I have so many stories I can listen to now to catch up!
It's all about Dogs and More!
While the focus is on dogs, each episode has elements that delve into other subjects like starting a business, running a non-profit, yoga, volunteering and more!
