    This dedicated to all the little guys & gals out there. This one is about the small dogs (and horses) in the fight. The ones that just won't give up! We feature a miniature dwarf horse named Martha who has an intense zest for life and found her forever home at a mini horse rescue ranch in MO.  We then follow it up by talking about Lil' Earl Grey. He's a rescue bulldog hailing from NY by way of California. He's a self-dubbed ladies man and bone stealer and loves to dance. You don't wanna miss this episode!
