With the current COVID-19 pandemic, the human-animal bond has arguably never been more important and essential for human well-being.

…

This week we’re delighted to be joined by the newly elected President of the Human Animal Bond Institute and longtime animal welfare advocate, veterinarian Dr. Laird Goodman.

…

Dr. Goodman joins hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT to share this story of animal advocacy, what the goals and aspirations of the Human Animal Bond Association (HABI https://www.humananimalbond.net/ are, and what Beckie has to do with all of this (hint: she’s taken on even MORE responsibilities!).

…

Also, Viewfinders, please do me, Dr. ERNIE (listen to this episode near the beginning and you’ll get the joke), a huge favor and leave Beckie a billboard-sized graduation congratulatory note on our Veterinary Viewfinder Facebook or Instagram page (this time, listen to the episode near the end and you’ll get it). So proud of you, Beckie!! FIERCE!!!

…

Viewfinders, this is another super-upbeat and impactful conversation. Dr. Goodman has been promoting the power of the human-animal bond for most of his career and is a delight to interview! Do us a favor, subscribe, share, and leave us an iTunes Podcasts review to help us reach more of our vet and pet colleagues. Thank you!!
