Summary
April is National Pet Month… which means there’s a lot going on.
Seann shares a breakthrough with Mildred’s barking (thank you, Simon!), we debate whether the UK is too dog-friendly (absolutely not), and there’s big news about our brand new Patreon series Off The Lead…
We also hear from Jordan at Fetcher Dog, who brings a sobering reality check about stray dogs and rescues in the UK - and why the assumption that every dog finds a home simply isn’t reality.
Plus:
🐶 National Pet Month
🐾 Dog-friendly shops, cafes & chaos in Peter Jones
😂 Awkward dog-owner social moments
🏆 Selfies for Cinnamon judging duties
❤️ An incredible dog rescue story turned into art
