Another Day Ruined

Due to a technical hiccup, this week's episode of Oh My Dog is coming to you in two parts. 🐾

In part one, Jack reflects on scattering the ashes of his beloved dogs, Seann shares an update on Mildred's new garden adventures, and Sara reports back from a fascinating Dogs Trust event at St James's Palace. There's also plenty of chat about rescue dogs, Staffies, fake plants and why sometimes taking a short break from your dog isn't such a bad thing.

And don't worry - Paul Tonkinson is still joining us. Unfortunately, a missing audio track means we'll be re-recording our conversation with Paul this week, and we'll bring you part two on Tuesday.

Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back here very soon for the rest of the episode.

This week on Bark Back, Jack, Seann and Sara dive into your messages about travelling with dogs, including a fascinating email from New York about the emotional impact of flying dogs in aircraft holds.

Listeners share alternatives including dog-friendly ferries to Spain, travelling across Europe with pets, and why some owners choose not to fly their dogs at all.

Plus, there's a touching tribute to a beloved poodle named Marky, and some eagle-eyed viewers spotted something unusual about Jack at the Goodwoof live show.

Olympic cycling legend Victoria Pendleton joins Jack, Seann and Sara this week.

Victoria tells us about her inspiring new book, The Fear Opportunity, and why stepping outside your comfort zone can transform your life. From Olympic gold medals to skydiving, fear of failure, and learning to embrace new challenges, it's a fascinating conversation about courage, resilience and growth.

Plus, we meet Victoria's beloved dogs Valor the Belgian Malinois and Leilo the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and hear why high-drive dogs need jobs to do, and discover how dogs have helped bring balance to her life.

And of course, the all-important question: does Victoria let her dogs kiss her on the mouth?

We take a deep dive into your brilliant messages, photos and videos - including a very spoiled senior staffy, a cockapoo who builds herself a sofa nest every night, and one listener whose dog nickname somehow evolved into simply “Poo”.

The gang discuss dog greetings, emotional goodbye routines at the window, tattoos inspired by beloved pets - Sara shares a touching tribute to a cockapoo called Dexter, and whether Jack should get a face tattoo.

The gang wander around the festival chatting to dog owners, meeting some incredible dogs, talking rescue pups, influencer dogs, dachshunds, dog nicknames, thunderstorms, selfies, live shows, and everything in between.

There are encounters with listeners, comedians, dog collar and lead designers, enormous mountain dogs, and even a few philosophical discussions about whether dogs actually enjoy selfies.

A warm, funny and gloriously unfiltered day out at the “Glastonbury for dogs”.

🐾 Plus: stories about Dolly, Mildred-Barrett and Juniper🐾 Behind-the-scenes chaos from the live show🐾 Dog people being wonderfully dog people
