Soul Tails with Raadhika

My lovely friend Natasha Nair fell in love with animals when she moved to Pondicherry from Bombay. Her life changed and she has changed many lives with her compassion and zeal to help all creatures. I spent a balmy afternoon talking to her about her choices and her passions. Join us for a lovely chit-chat about love, animals and the slow life in beautiful Pondi!

Marc and Karin are a Dutch expat couple who have travelled the world and taken their Mumbai adopted street dogs with them! In a world where people find it easy to dump their pets, this couple is remarkable. They now live in the Dutch countryside, rescuing and adopting all sorts of farm animals: pot bellied pigs, ducks, dogs, cats and more. I loved spending time with them and meeting their lovely animal family. Their commitment inspires me every day!

Life changed hugely once my rescue dog, Terry, was formally instructed by his dog-mother, Lyla Cama, a professional canine trainer. Join me and Lyla as we talk about all things dog, and how to train the little dragon in your life.

De Poezenboot is a cat shelter on a houseboat in a canal in Amsterdam, filled with the most beautiful rescues and adoptions. I spent the day there, meeting Judith who has been with them since forever. I also spoke to Judy, one of the staff, and a couple who had come in to adopt a cat. I left impressed, enchanted and absolutely besotted by this beautiful place. https://depoezenboot.nl/en/history
