Living in Key West Stephanie & Greg

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Jen Golbeck mama of 
The Golden Ratio pack. If you aren't following them on socials you simply must. They go by @TheGoldenRatio4 across all platforms.


In addition to being the most amazing rescue mama, Jen is an accomplished researcher, professor, speaker (TEDx!) and author. Her newest book, The Purest Bond: Understanding the Human–Canine Connection, is coming out on November 14th. However, you can preorder it on Amazon or even better support a local Key West bookstore and purchase from Books & Books (links in comments.)


Jen is also holding book signing events in support of The Purest Bond's release in Winter Park and Key West as of now. Her precious angel rescue babies may even make some appearances! You can get details about the book signings on their socials as well.


On this episode we discuss:


🐶 How Jen and her hubby got into Golden rescue
🐶 The inspiration and details of The Purest Bond
🐶 How the pack likes living in the Florida Keys (and how they landed in the Keys originally. Hint: Little Palm Island is involved!🦌)
🐶 What Jen wishes other people knew about the work of rescuing hospice and medically-needy pups
🐶 Jen's fascinating thoughts on pet loss, grief, and what we could do better to support the pet grieving process in our society
🐶 The wonderful work of their 501(c)(3), The Golden Ratio Foundation, and how they pay it forward by supporting not only other medically needy pups but groundbreaking research to stop medical challenges before they start as well


...and tons more.
