In Season 2 Episode 20 (take 17) hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh continue the conversation on what makes a "good" rescue, showcasing what makes DGS truly special with next-level community support for dogs like DGS Alums Rocket and Bear. When bad shit happens to good people, they help -- whether that means paying a very big vet bill or being available in the actual middle of the night. Meanwhile, Shit List features a scammy company peddling puppy mill puppies at "Puppy Yoga" in Seattle; just, no. Finally, the duo answers your question on useless and annoying dog tricks.
