The Dog Show #356 – December 23, 2015
First, Julie’s 12 year old nephew Aidan shares a special story about his golden retriever, Nova. Then listen to an interview with Jeanne Hampl and Darcie Boltz, two experts in the service dog industry who weigh-in about a story that featured a service dog and a child. This brings up some questions about service dog welfare and an opportunity to educate. We all ask… “WHAT ABOUT THE DOG?”
