"He's a very skeptical puppy."

Meet Heisenberg, a 13-pound Shih Tzu who decides who's worthy of his attention on his own terms. Approach him first and he'll give you a look, but wait him out and he'll eventually come find you! In this episode we chat about his San Antonio adoption story, his surprising confidence on elevators and flights, and the judgmental little voice his mom Melba imagines in his head.

"He just loves unconditionally… well, at least humans."

Meet Bosco "B-Man" Boyle, a nine-year-old Frenchie who spent his first three years as a puppy mill stud dog before finding his way home.

"All she wants is food. She lives for food. She will probably die for food."

Meet Rue, series host Emily's senior Great Dane of unknown age (her family calls her Obasan Rue, "old lady" in Japanese) who still acts like a puppy. Tune in to hear more about her food obsession, her many nicknames, her sassy-but-sweet attitude, and the old-man groan she lets out every time she has to get up.

"She acts really human. When it gets sassy or has an attitude, she's smart, but she's also not afraid to be pushy."

In this episode, we chat with Mykahl about Zoe Wren, his four-year-old Brat (Boston+Rat) Terrier with a sassy Chicago Girl inner voice and absolutely zero chill. We get into her rural Indiana life befriending fawns and hunting chipmunks, her uncanny ability to sense when her mom isn't feeling well, and why her theme songs range from "Seven Nation Army" to "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" depending on her energy level.

"I always say I won the dog lottery. I'm so grateful he's the one I got to keep."

He's been the Quality Assurance officer at Grace's work ever since.

"He's such a good dog. He's just a jerk."

In this episode, we chat with Danielle about Jiro, her 13-year-old Shiba Inu who was started out as the only puppy in his litter, competed in the show ring, and has spent the last decade making it very clear that his human's schedule exists to serve him. We get into why the perfect puppy turned into a self-important jerk at 18 months, how he peels back every rug in the house when meals are 10 minutes late, and why he's somehow the best-behaved dog at a restaurant but will scream at you if you pet him for too lon.

"Charlie is the queen of the world. She would want everyone just waiting on her hand and foot. George is like a minion. He would just be so joyful walking around exploring everything."

In this episode, we chat with Genevieve about Charlie and George the Cocker Spaniels. Charlie is a rescue who came with some anxiety and resource guarding, and George was brought home practically to be Charlie's therapy dog! We get into Charlie's behavioral journey, how Genevieve learned to read her signals and manage her triggers, and why George is arguably the most passive dog alive. Also: the time George and a stranger's dog turned out to be littermates, why Charlie is basically a queen who wants everyone waiting on her hand and foot, and a shoutout to Brother Wolf rescue in Asheville, North Carolina.

"Kirby is one of those like, 'Hey guys! Hey guys! Hey, hey, guys! Guys! Let's go, let's go, let's go!' And then Phil is a little bit more goofy: 'Hey guys, just let me curl up.' And then 'Oh no! What's happening? There's someone over there! It's a FedEx truck. I'm just gonna be a noodle.'"

Meet Kirby and Phil: two black-and-white supermutts who came from different backgrounds but complemented each other instantly. In this episode, their mom Kate chats about Kirby's cattle dog bossiness, Phil's noodle-on-your-feet sweetness, snowy adventures near Alpental, and life with two tuxedo dogs who very much run the household.

"I never thought I'd have this many, never in a million years."

In this episode, meet Bentley, Oliver, Cosette, Chloe, Mercedes, Lincoln, and Josie: seven rescue French Bulldogs who (mostly) started as fosters and never left.

"I always dreamed of having a dog in my lap, like hanging his head out the window while I'm running a locomotive."

In this episode, we chat with Kat and her 2.5-year-old Papillon/Chihuahua mix, Georgie Porgie, a one-gerbil-sized puppy turned 15-pound certified co-pilot. Georgie logs two to three miles a day, hits the beach rain or shine, and looks out for his "big brother" Ghost at the dog park. As a railroad conductor, Kat has taken Georgie along for the ride on the locomotive, ear protectors and all, making him one of the most well-traveled dogs in the Pacific Northwest.
