    A Soul Dog's Love Through Cancer: Erin and Bo's Story

    Content Note: This episode includes conversations about cancer, grief, and pet loss. In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Erin Erler, owner of Cakes by Erin, to share the extraordinary bond she shared with her soul dog, Bo. Just months apart, Erin and Bo were both diagnosed with cancer. Throughout Erin's treatments, surgeries, and recovery, Bo never left her side, offering comfort, unconditional love, and quiet strength when she needed it most. During one of Erin's surgeries, Bo's own condition took a heartbreaking turn. While Erin was still recovering in the hospital, Bo crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Although they couldn't say goodbye in person, Erin believes Bo waited until he knew she would be okay before letting go. Their journey together became the inspiration behind Bo's Blessings, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families facing the financial burden of caring for pets with cancer, ensuring more people can focus on making memories with the animals they love. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and her four-legged co-host, Nigel, we explore the extraordinary bond between humans and their soul dogs, navigating illness together, grief, healing, and how love continues long after goodbye.

    How Stella the French Bulldog Became a Therapy Dog Loved by the Community

    In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Chuck Chopak of Team Stella to explore how his French Bulldog Stella became a nationally certified therapy dog making a difference throughout the Haverhill community. From the very beginning, Stella and Chuck formed a close bond. Because Stella had not yet completed her vaccinations when she first came home, Chuck carried her everywhere in a front sling during her early months, creating a strong connection that only deepened over time. Known for her friendly personality and love of people, especially children, Stella naturally connected with everyone she met during daily walks through downtown Haverhill. After completing Canine Good Citizen training, Chuck and Stella were encouraged to explore therapy dog work, eventually becoming a nationally certified Pet Partners Therapy Team. Today, Team Stella visits skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities throughout the area and participates in Stories with Stella at the Haverhill Public Library, where children read to Stella during special sessions designed to build confidence and connection. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and her four-legged co-host, Nigel, we explore the bond between humans and dogs, the healing power of therapy animals, and the impact one small dog can have on an entire community.

    From One Dog to a Nationwide Movement | Susan Godwin & PupScouts

    What started as one woman and her dog in New York City turned into a nationwide movement built on connection, community, and joy. In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Susan Godwin, founder of PupScouts Org, to share how her first dog, Tasha, became the inspiration behind a 501(c)(3) organization with troops across the country. When Susan moved to NYC, Tasha was more than a pet. She was her companion, her sense of safety, and her constant in a brand new chapter of life. The two of them explored the city together, traveled side by side, and built a bond that would shape everything that came next. One small moment changed it all. A friend showed Susan a dog-sized Brownie uniform, and a simple idea sparked. What if dogs had their own scouting experience… earning badges, attending meetings, and bringing people together? That idea turned into PupScouts. Today, PupScouts continues to grow with a mission to help the dog community and make humans smile. Tasha, the original National Troop Leader, may be gone, but her legacy lives on through Timothy, Tabitha, and every PupScout across the country. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and co-host Nigel, we talk about how one dog can change your life, how ideas turn into impact, and how love continues long after loss.
