In this episode we talk to Jordy about her beautiful boy Dodger.

Dodger is a rescue boy, and while he was not originally the doggo that Jord and her husband went to look at, he was certainly the doggo who won their heart the most!

From a beautiful recount of their first meeting, memories of their early days together, to growing a family, Jord shares what life has been like with Dodger by her side to date.

From life as a stray on the street, to a life surrounded by an abundance of love, and all that comes with a growing family, Dodger is proof of just how resilient dogs (and humans) can be. 

This is Dodger and Jordy's story!

In this episode we talk to Ebonee about her incredible boy Benji.

Benji is 17! Which is absolutely wild in itself, and a credit to the beautiful life Ebonee has had with Benji. 

Benji came into Ebonee's life in her late teenage years at a time when she needed something to love. Benji and Ebonee have essentially grown up together, as Ebonee navigated moving interstate, starting a new career, moving houses, losing herself, and finding herself again (as we so often do in our twenties), meeting the man that would become her husband, and starting a family. 

Through all of the many life changes, Benji has been the one single constant for Ebonee. He is truly a part of the person she is. And despite a health scare a few years ago, and ongoing health challenges, Benji is proof of just how resilient dogs are.

If you have ever shared your life with a heart dog, this episode is sure to tug on your heart strings!

This is Ebonee and Benji's story!

In this episode we talk to April about her beautiful girl Betty, otherwise fondly known as Bettina Raelene!

April talks about the challenges of adopting a rescue dog (and not in the way that you might think), how she came to find Betty's breeder, and her and Betty's first encounter, which was in the thick of covid.

April describes the challenges in the early days with a 'covid puppy', how she worked through them with Betty, and the whole new world that was opened up once her and Betty started working with a dog trainer. 

 It is beautifully evident that Betty is April's pride and joy, as she shares proud moments, funny memories and everyday stories of Betty that provide all the magic this podcast is about.

This is April and Betty's story!

In this episode we talk to Allira about her beautiful boys, Chico and Archie!

Allira is a brilliant pet photographer in Sydney, Australia. As pet photographers often do to give back, Allira has photographed many shelter dogs to date. In fact, that is how she found both of her boys some years ago now. First Archie, then Chico.

 In each case, these beautiful boys were overlooked by many, remaining at the shelter, or in foster care longer than anyone expected.

Allira shares what the early days were like with the boys, each with their own behavioural challenges, and how she went about managing these challenges (and continues to do so). 

Allira shares some funny and wonderful stories about the boys, how they have had a positive impact on her daily life as a sole trader in the creative industry, and the MANY incredible life lessons they have taught her. 

There is absolutely no doubt that Chico and Archie ended up in exactly the right home, with exactly the right human. 

This is Allira, Chico and Archie’s story!

In this episode we talk to Maddi about all things Veterinary Industry!

Maddi shares what lead her to apply for vet, the process of applying, her experience throughout the university degree, and how she came to work where she is now. 

Maddi talks about how the industry has changed in the last decade, the challenges faced within the industry, and how she has overcome the hard days on the job.

This episode gives a really wonderful insight not only into the veterinary industry, but how to get there!

If you are an aspiring vet, a newly graduated vet, or in the thick of it within the industry, this is a must listen!

If you are a pet owner, I strongly encourage you to listen too. I truly believe the veterinary industry is undervalued by many, partly due to a lack of understanding of the challenges faced by those at the heart of the industry. 

I am so grateful to Maddi for being so open throughout this episode, as we talk about some hard topics that are a part of the everyday for our Veterinary professionals. 

Enjoy this insightful, informative episode!

In this episode we talk to Anastasia about her beautiful boy Jellyfish

Jelly had a rough start, being dumped on the side of the highway at 4 months of age, followed by a failed adoption the first time. Anastasia saw Jelly’s profile on a rescue site on Facebook, and immediately knew this was the doggo for her. But taking on Jelly was not your average adoption story.

Jelly is unlike most dogs in that he has been blind from birth. Due to some complications with his eyes in the first 18 months of his life, he has also been through multiple procedures to remove his eyes, in order to give him the best quality of life. 

Anastasia knew of Jelly’s blindness from the start, and dove all in regardless!

I really enjoyed this chat with Anastasia!
Her dedication to ensuring Jelly has a wonderful quality of life is both uplifting and inspiring.

Anastasia talks about life with a blind dog, challenges they have faced, and achievements they have made together (which is wildly impressive!).

I am in awe of Anastasia and Jelly’s resilience with any and every challenge faced. They are proof that with trust, patience, communication and persistence, anything is possible!

This is Anastasia and Jelly’s story!

In this episode we talk to Anastasia about her late doggo Zelda.

If you have never heard the term 'reactivity' in the dog world, this is a must listen episode! 

If you have or have had a reactive dog, I have no doubt this episode will have you nodding in agreeance.

 While Zelda was a completely unplanned suprise, followed by more unexpected surprises in the form of health issues, the biggest challenge for Anastasia was Zelda's reactivity. 

 And while life with Zelda wasn't exactly as Anastasia had always imagined and hoped life with a puppy/young dog would be like, some incredible lessons came out of their 11 years together. 

 Anastasia learnt what reactivity was, what it meant for Zelda, and the life they would have together. 

With the help of a trainer, persistence and patience from Anastasia, and a whole lot of trust between her and Zelda, they learnt how to make the best of life together. 

 Time spent with Zelda also inspired Anastasia to write a kids book about a reactive dog, titled 'Zoodle needs space'. Anastasia's hope is that the book can spread awareness more widely for generations to come, about reactivity in dogs, what it looks like, and how to understand what the dog is trying to tell us. 

This episode is a beautiful reminder that while life doesn't always serve us what we had envisaged, it is up to us to make the best of what we have. And while life may look 'different' to what we had hoped, it can still be incredibly beautiful. 

This is Anastasia and Zelda's story
