The fabulous Cat Warren author of What the Dog Knows: The Science and Wonder of Working Dogs

Cat Warren is a university professor and former journalist with an admittedly odd hobby: She and her German shepherd have spent the last seven years searching for the dead. Solo is a cadaver dog. What started as a way to harness Solo’s unruly energy and enthusiasm soon became a calling that introduced Warren to the hidden and fascinating universe of working dogs, their handlers, and their trainers. Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he’s only one of many thousands of working dogs all over the United States and beyond. In What the Dog Knows, Warren uses her ongoing work with Solo as a way to explore a captivating field that includes cadaver dogs, drug and bomb-detecting K9s, tracking and apprehension dogs - even dogs who can locate unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers and help find drowning victims more than two hundred feet below the surface of a lake. Working dogs’ abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but Warren shows the multifaceted science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie the amazing abilities of dogs who work with their noses.

Aaron Michael Lewis shares wisdom, love, and insight on his instagram page, @sweet_gigi02

Here is one of his beautiful posts: "I think people often forget animals deal with emotions too. It sometimes goes deeper because they are trusting of a human to be their guide through those emotions. I see a lot of people claim their pet has helped their mental health but my question is were you there for theirs? They are there through every storm but don’t forgot about their storms. Trust me I know when something is off with GiGi. My effort is there to figure out what it is. And my patience is there to wait for her to let me know what it is. Humans often setup boundaries but push past animals’ boundaries. Pay attention to the body language. Don’t disrespect their space and expect them to not react. It’s time to take accountability for own actions or lack there of. It’s everyday action. Not sometimes when I feel like it."

We have a deep meaningful conversation about Gigi and dogs in general. It's a conversaition you don't want to miss!


The fanastic Ken Foster author of I'm a Good Dog: Pit Bulls, America’s Most Beautiful (and Misunderstood) Pet.

Book description: Perhaps more than any other breed, the pit bull has been dogged by negative stereotypes. In truth, pit bulls are innately wonderful family pets, as capable of love and good deeds as any other type of dog. Setting the record straight, Ken Foster sings the praises of pit bulls in I’m a Good Dog, a gorgeously illustrated, tenderly written tribute to this most misunderstood of canines.

Founder of the Sula Foundation, which promotes responsible pit bull ownership in New Orleans, and the author of two acclaimed books about abandoned dogs, Foster has made it his mission to bring overlooked canines into the limelight. I’m a Good Dog traces the fascinating history of this particularly maligned breed. A century ago, the pit bull was considered a family dog, featured in family photos and trusted as loving companions for children. More recently, pit bulls have been portrayed by the media as stereotypes of everything they are not. Foster shatters that reputation through moving profiles of pit bulls that serve as therapy dogs, athletic heroes, search-and-rescue dogs, and educators, not to mention as loving pets.

Author Jen Goldbeck author of The Purest Bond: Understanding the Human–Canine Connection.

Book description: Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, The Purest Bondexplores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what’s right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong.

Monica from Brave Bully Rescue

Brave Bully Rescue is a 501(3) non-profit , foster-based Pit Bull Rescue in Houston, Texas.We are a rescue group comprised of members who love bully breeds and have made the choice to educate and advocate for this misunderstood breed.We will fight for their lives and show the world this magnificent breed that has been tarnished by dog fighters, criminals and negative media. Brave Bully Rescue began when the founders discovered three Pit bull puppies that were dumped in their neighborhood. They reached out to a few Houston shelters and learned that they would be euthanized. So they decided to network on Facebook, asking for help from local rescues. They realized how bad the overpopulation of Pit Bulls and strays consumed in Houston, Texas. Rescues were full and the amount of bully breed rescues in Houston was limited. So they took to the internet in order to network and share Pit Bulls who were on death row in high-kill shelters.Eric and Monica Febles started organizing the rescue and finding others that shared their passion for the breed.Brave Bully Rescue began on March 14, 2014 and has saved over 300 lives to date. Their goal is to instill a positive presence of advocacy for responsible bully breed ownership and to find their adoptable bullies a loving forever home.
