Hello, Zoe Azulay.

Hi, Anna Sale.

Hello, you have made our episode this week.

And it is about one of the things that we share, which is having dogs in our family that we love very much.

Yes, and you have a new puppy, which I am jealous of.

He's very sweet, our little puppy named Lewis, who is

mostly untrained, and we are trying to domesticate him as we speak. How is that going?

It's going okay. We are in Wyoming this summer, so we have the advantage of having a lot of

socially very rich. We live not too far from a great park and we've just made a lot of great

friendships. And the idea for this episode came from that dog park scene, right?

So last winter, Bessie, a dog in the dog community, went missing.

So what happened was her owner, Tina, was hit by a car when she was walking down to the park.

And she dropped the leash.

And then Bessie just took off. And so Tina had to go to the hospital.

She's okay. But while she's there, she doesn't know where Bessie is. And then actually, Bessie was

found within a couple of hours. The WhatsApp dog community is very active. But she was five miles away

in Brooklyn, which meant that she had to cross a big bridge. And so for the next
