In this heartfelt episode of Dog Works Radio, host Robert Forto reconnects with long-time friend and author Dorothy Wills-Raftery, known to many as the FiveSibes Mom. Together they discuss her touching new children's book Wolfie, What Is the Rainbow Bridge? a gentle story written with her grandson to help children understand the loss of a beloved pet.

Dorothy shares the real-life inspiration behind Wolfie, the emotional bond between her grandson and their Siberian Huskies, and how writing and illustration became a form of healing. The conversation also explores her ongoing work in canine epilepsy awareness, pet loss support, and her award-winning books like What's Wrong with Gibson and Buddy the Christmas Husky.
