    "THE UNICORNS OF THE SEA....NARWAHLS" with Dr, Martin Nweeia

    Magic meets science in this episode of Fur Real. Have you heard of the unicorns of the sea? Narwhals, with their iconic tusks, are as fascinating as they are mysterious. Joining us is Dr. Martin Nweeia, the leading expert on these Arctic creatures, to share incredible stories and surprising facts. Did you know their “horn” is actually a tooth that can grow up to ten feet long? Or that they can dive over 7,000 feet deep thanks to a special protein that supercharges their oxygen reserves? But narwhals aren’t just science—they’re steeped in legend. Inuit mythology tells of a woman who was pulled into the sea while hunting, and her braided hair became the tusk we see today. In medieval times, the tusk was believed to have magical powers, capable of curing poison and disease. Even Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea drew inspiration from these incredible animals. From myths to biology, Dr. Nweeia brings stories you won’t want to miss.

    "PTSD BATTLE BUDDIES" with Shannon Walker

    In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of The Fur Real podcast, Shannon Walker, founder of Northwest Battle Buddies, shares the incredible impact of her organization. Since 2011, Northwest Battle Buddies has been transforming the lives of veterans suffering from PTSD by pairing them with specially trained service dogs, known as “Battle Buddies.” With an estimated 22 veterans losing their lives to suicide daily—a rate 50% higher than that of non-veterans—this work is crucial. Shannon explains the rigorous, months-long training process that both the dogs and veterans undergo to form a bond rooted in mutual support and care. Once completed, these pairs provide each other with unwavering companionship, helping veterans manage the overwhelming and life-altering effects of PTSD. While PTSD was only officially recognized in 1980, its impact on veterans remains profound and lasting. Although PTSD cannot be cured, programs like Northwest Battle Buddies offer a path to healing, providing hope and resilience to American heroes who carry these invisible wounds daily. This episode is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, as Shannon’s passion and dedication shine through every word. It’s a powerful message of hope and the extraordinary connection between veterans and their “Battle Buddies.” www.furrealpodcast.com www.northwestbattlebuddies.org fb The Fur Real Podcast            fb Northwest Battle Buddies ig @thefurrealpodcast             ig @northwestbattlebuddies tik tok @thefurrealpodcast      threads @thefurrealpodcast Blue Sky The Fur Real Podcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

    "HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR PETS" with Teri Swanson

    We’re diving into a cutting-edge treatment for pets: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Did you know this therapy, often used by elite athletes to enhance recovery, is available for our four-legged friends too? But what exactly is HBOT, and what can it do for your pet? In simple terms, HBOT is a therapy where pets breathe in pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This boost in oxygen saturates their red blood cells, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and providing relief from a variety of ailments. It’s similar to the chambers divers use when they resurface too quickly and experience “the bends”—only, in this case, it’s for our pets’ recovery and well-being. Our guest, Teri Swanson, has years of experience with HBOT for animals and guides us through its benefits, explaining how it helps pets recover from injuries, surgeries, and even chronic conditions. If you’ve ever wondered about ways to enhance your pet’s health, you won’t want to miss this enlightening episode! www.furrealpodcast.com            www.animalhyperbaricstx.com fb The Fur Real Podcast         fb All Creatures Hyperbaric Care ig @thefurrealpodcast      @markakyle tik tok @thefurrealpodcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
