Celebrity Pawcast: Stars and their pets

Carlos Bustamante is one of the long time hosts on ET Canada, and also long time dog lover. And as it is with most dog lovers, it took him a long time to get over the death of one of his pups. As he tells it, him and his wife took the long road when bringing another doggo back in their lives.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian McCourt is a HGTV Contractor, Design Expert, Real Estate Flipper AND a doggy daddy. Dogs have always been around Brian, but when he had a major loss in his life, he'll tell you how important his dog was to get him through it.  

You might not know it, but BC boy and the reigning CCMA Male Artist of the Year is a big dog guy. And he's had a few weird (but wonderful) ones in his day. Hear all that and more on this week's Pawcast with Dallas Smith! 

It's safe to say young Jordan Davis has had his fair share of success early in his music career. Today we'll talk about one of his inspirations, all the dogs in his life. Also, my daughter and her fiance, adopted a French Bulldog from an Edmonton Animal Rescue called "Zoe's". I talk to the amazing Andrea Young from the resuce about the process and what they do. 

Find out how dogs just kept showing up in James Barker’s life when he was a kid, and who he named his current dog after! (Hint: it might be one of his band members)

Although he's on the road more often than not performing, Aaron Goodvin has a special way to keep an eye on his pups. But if you ask Telly and Olive, they'd be totally cool with it. That and more with country musician, Aaron Goodvin! 

We all know someone who's got pet related allergies, and had to avoid animals. Canadian singer/songwriter, Deric Ruttan, was one of those people. But thanks to a surprise from his son, he found himself with a new dog (which turned out to be a great thing). Plus, dog expert, Colleen McCarvill, talks about how to deal with aggressive dogs that aren't yours. 

Some people when they decide on getting a dog, they have a breed in mind. Sometimes that plan gets thrown out the window. CCMA Award winning artist, Meghan Patrick, was settling on her own designer puppy, when something special fell in her lap. More from her and Colleen McCarvil, the dog expert, on this weeks Pawcast! 

A few years ago, CFL Kicker, Sean Whyte, suffered a pretty serious injury that sidelined him for a majority of the Edmonton Eskimo's season. Stuck at home by himself, things got dark for Sean. He knew he needed something to pick him up off the floor, that's where Tucker the rescue dog came in to save him. 

From a life in hockey, to a life in music, Chad has always relied on his dog. Now that it's just him and his dog, Ellie, he leans on her for support even more. Heck, she's even in the video for his number one hit, "Forever's Gotta Start Somewhere." Hear the whole story of Chad getting drafted in the NHL, to getting in to music, all with Ellie by his side in this weeks Pawcast! 

Some people go their whole lives without a dog, happy as can be. Some of those people's lives get interrupted by a dog, then they realize that they had been missing something the whole time. Tiffany Pratt was one of those people. She chats about everything wiener dog, comfort in her pups, and the hole that they filled. Plus, dog expert, Colleen McCarvill, talks about muzzles! 

We have our first doggy update! Dean Brody joins me again this week with news of another four legged addition to his home. And we talk in studio with Pam Heggie, the owner of Kai the super dog, who's story was shared on Good Morning America, and also has a video seen tens of millions of times about his 100 pound weight loss journey!

It seems to be an underlying theme with most country musicians, their dogs being at the core of their lives. East coaster, Dean Brody, is no different. One thing Dean didn't think he'd ever do was have a little dog, but when he got his tiny havanese, that all changed. He talks to Celebrity Pawcast about that & a ton more, plus dog expert, Colleen McCarvill chats about exercising your pup.

There's something about adding a dog to the family dynamic that changes things forever. Maybe dad has been pushing against it for years, mom isn't sure the kids are responsible enough, but when it happens, everyone flips. Dad is feeding beggin' strips to Rover straight from his mouth, mom has bought the little fella a full wardrobe of dog costumes, and the kiddos couldn't be happier picking up after him. ET Canada's Cheryl Hickey is on this episode of Celebrity Pawcast and knows a little something about how dogs affect the family dynamic, how she remembers her old dog, Darby, and how she has made dogs apart of her family life now.
