This is an I-Heart podcast.

Crime stories with Nancy Grace.

We hear about heroes and hero detectives all the time.

But our unsung heroes, the ones we never hear about,

are our furry friends, the heroes,

pet detectives and heroes.

And I'm bringing you real live cases today,

along with an awesome all-star lineup of a panel.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

Lassie! Lassie!

Dogs really are a man's best friend. Dogs are our pets and companions.

And we love them, even though they often seem unable to do anything more than lie around and run after sticks.

You can find all kinds of interesting and incredible stories involving dogs saving humans from disastrous situations.

An awesome all-star lineup of a panel, including Jack Hanna.

We all know Jack Hanna, the director emeritus, the animal ambassador of the world-famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium,

the host of Jack Hanna's Into the Wild and Wild Countdown.

I mean, this guy, I will never forget doing an HLN show and a Larry King show, which I still

And what a time we had.

The best shows ever, and as I've always told Jack Hanna, the best witnesses I've ever put on the stand were dogs.

Also with me, my longtime friend and colleague, Jane Veles Mitchell, reporter and animal lover, Dory Natal, who has an incredible story of how a dog saved her son.

And Shannon Nehouse also with us with a dramatic story of a life-saving animal hero.
