  • Ep. 84 - Freudenfreude, P-22 and more from Peru!
    On this week’s Dear Dog, we get international with Betsy joining from Peru where in addition to there being way too many stray dogs causing B great displeasure, there has been a coup attempt. We process that as well as the loss of P-22, LA’s most famous four-legged celebrity. We learn a new vocabulary word...'Freuden Freude’; it’s the enjoyment of others’ joy, as opposed to Schadenfreude which is pleasure derived from another's misfortune—but you already knew that, right! And we get an update on Huckleberry angel who is at training. Anyone want to guess how often Ali checks in on him? Tune in for all that and much more!
