Musician Rachel Fuller talks to Maria and Paddy candidly about her Animal Requiem, the human need for ritual after death and what it’s actually like to grieve for the passing of a dog, or in Rachel’s case, six dogs. We hear stories involving caves in Italy and letters to Paul McCartney. They also discuss the contentious topic of when one dog passes, whether it is best to get another one soon afterwards.

Together they amble through the joys and tragedies of owning a dog.  From training a puppy to the death of an old pet.  Along the way there are all those other humans to meet - some whose names you never know but can easily call their Spaniel.  Why do some owners insist on using a special language and taking their dogs wherever they go?  Is the animal there for emotional support and do onlookers worry for the humans involved?  And which celebrity dog ate a condom and then sported it in the park from the other end?  It's all on the hit new podcast DogPod.
