At America's 149th Westminster Kennel Club dog show, Monty the giant schnauzer won the top prize. 在美国第149 Westminster养犬俱乐部狗展上，巨型Schnauzer Monty赢得了最高奖项。 The lively schnauzer beat six other finalists in New York City to become the first of his breed to win Westminster's “best in show.” The prize is the most important and respected in the U.S. dog show world. 活泼的Schnauzer击败了纽约市的其他六名决赛入围者，成为他的第一位赢得威斯敏斯特“最佳表演”的品种。 该奖项是美国狗展界最重要和受人尊敬的。While Monty came close to winning Westminster the past two years, he fell short of the big prize. In December 2024, the dog won another big prize, the huge American Kennel Club championship. 在过去两年中，蒙蒂接近赢得威斯敏斯特，但他没有大奖。 2024年12月，这只狗获得了另一个大奖，即巨大的美国养犬俱乐部冠军。But for dog show lovers, Westminster is considered the Super Bowl of all shows. This year the comparison is especially fitting. That is because the most respected U.S. dog competition opened on the same weekend as the Super Bowl -- the most important game in American professional football. This rare happening came after the dates of both competitions changed in recent years. 但是对于狗表演爱好者来说，威斯敏斯特被认为是所有表演的超级碗。 今年的比较特别合适。 那是因为最受尊敬的美国狗比赛与超级碗的同一个周末开幕 - 这是美国职业足球中最重要的比赛。 在近年来两次比赛的日期发生变化之后，这种罕见的事情发生了。At Westminster, dogs first compete against other members of their breed. Then, the winner of each breed goes up against other dogs within different competition “groups.” Among the groups are sporting, working, toy, and herding. Group winners then compete in the final round. 在威斯敏斯特，狗首先与其品种的其他成员竞争。 然后，每个品种的获胜者都在不同竞争“群体”中与其他狗抗衡。 其中包括运动，工作，玩具和放牧。 然后，团体获胜者在最后一轮比赛中竞争。 The best in show winner gets an award – a large, shiny cup called a trophy – and a place in dog-world history. The top prize, however, does not include money. 表演中最好的获奖者获得了一个奖项 - 一个名为A Trophy的大型闪亮杯 - 在Dog-World History中的位置。 但是，最高奖项不包括钱。 In her report on the dog show, Learning English's Caty Weaver explains that the Westminster show dates back to 1877. It centers on the traditional purebred judging that leads to the best in show prize. But over the last few years, the organization has added agility and obedience events open to mixed-breed dogs. 在她关于狗展的报告中，Learning English的Caty Weaver解释说，威斯敏斯特秀的历史可以追溯到1877年。它以传统的纯种判断为中心，这导致了最佳的表演奖。 但是在过去的几年中，该组织增加了敏捷性和服从事件，向混合狗开放。 In 2024, Sage, a miniature poodle, won best in show at the 148th Westminster Kennel Club dog show. 2024年，小型贵宾犬Sage在第148 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show中赢得了最佳表演。And in 2023, a petit basset griffon Vendéen, named Buddy Holly, won best in show at Westminster. The breed he represents is known for its rabbit-hunting abilities. 在2023年，一个名叫巴迪·霍莉（Buddy Holly）的小宝贝格里芬·旺德恩（GriffonVendéen）在威斯敏斯特（Westminster）赢得了最佳表现。 他所代表的品种以其兔子的能力而闻名。

EPISODE NOTES: Something to Woof About! - AKC celebrates 140 Years!

The American Kennel Club, or AKC, has named another kind of dog to its registry. 美国养犬俱乐部（AKC）已将另一种狗列入其登记册。 Say hello to the Danish-Swedish farmdog. Or maybe say "hej," the word for hello in Swedish and Danish. 向丹麦瑞典混血农场狗问好。或者可以说“hej”，瑞典语和丹麦语中的“你好”。 AKC officials announced the addition to its list on January 2. The recognition means the breed now may compete for many best in show prizes. It also will probably create wider interest in the small, lively dogs. Fans of the breed are happy for the honor, but some also worry about the effect increased attention will have on the dog. AKC 官员于 1 月 2 日宣布将其添加到名单中。这一认可意味着该品种现在可以争夺许多最佳的比赛奖项。它还可能会引起人们对活泼的小型犬的更广泛的兴趣。该品种的粉丝们为这一荣誉感到高兴，但有些人也担心增加关注会对狗产生影响。Carey Segebart is one of the people who worked to get Danish-Swedish farmdogs recognized by the AKC. "We're excited about it. We're looking forward to it," she said. She plans to show one of her own at a dog show this month near her home in the American state of Iowa. Carey Segebart 是致力于让丹麦-瑞典农场犬获得 AKC 认可的人之一。“我们对此感到兴奋。我们很期待，”她说。她计划本月在美国爱荷华州她家附近的一场狗展上展示自己的一只狗。 Still, she thinks more attention can have both good and bad results for the breed. "We don't want the breed to just explode too quickly," she said. 尽管如此，她认为更多的关注对这个品种来说既有好也有坏的结果。“我们不希望这个品种爆发得太快，”她说。 The Danish-Swedish Farmdog Club of America says the breed, DSF for short, goes back centuries in parts of what are now Denmark, southern Sweden and some other European countries. 美国丹麦瑞典农场狗俱乐部表示，这个品种（简称DSF）可以追溯到几个世纪前，生活在现在的丹麦、瑞典南部和其他一些欧洲国家的部分地区。"They're interesting, fun little dogs," said Segebart, who has owned them since 2011 and is the club's incoming president. She said they will try anything and “succeed at most everything." “它们是有趣、有趣的小狗，”Segebart 说，他自 2011 年以来一直拥有它们，也是俱乐部即将上任的主席。她说他们会尝试任何事情，并且“几乎一切都会成功”。 In their homelands, the dogs' main job was to control small animals called rodents. However, they also can herd, act as watchdogs and be playful with children. The club says some Danish-Swedish farmdogs have even performed in circuses. 在它们的家乡，狗的主要工作是控制称为啮齿动物的小动物。然而，它们也可以放牧、充当看门狗并与孩子们玩耍。该俱乐部表示，一些丹麦瑞典混血的农场狗甚至曾在马戏团表演。 After Denmark and Sweden became more developed in the 20th century, DSF fans decided to make the breed official in both nations. Kennel clubs there began registering the breed in 1987. 20 世纪丹麦和瑞典变得更加发达后，DSF 爱好者决定在这两个国家正式认定该品种。那里的养犬俱乐部于 1987 年开始注册该品种。 In the United States, many of the about 350 Danish-Swedish farmdogs nationwide already compete in agility, obedience or other sports that are open to all dogs, including mixed breeds. 在美国，全国约 350 只丹麦瑞典混血农场犬中的许多已经参加了敏捷性、服从性或其他对所有狗（包括混种狗）开放的运动项目。 Until now, the dogs could not enter the traditional breed-by-breed judging that leads to best in show prizes at major dog shows. They may appear later this year at two major televised events, the National Dog Show and the AKC National Championship. 到目前为止，这些狗还无法进入传统的逐品种评审，从而在大型犬展上获得最佳表演奖。它们可能会在今年晚些时候出现在两项主要的电视赛事中：全国犬展和 AKC 全国锦标赛。 The Danish-Swedish farmdog is the AKC's 202nd breed and "a wonderful addition to a family that is able to provide it with the exercise and mental stimulation that it needs," said the AKC's Gina DiNardo. 丹麦-瑞典农场犬是 AKC 的第 202 个品种，AKC 的吉娜·迪纳尔多 (Gina DiNardo) 表示，“它是家庭的绝妙补充，能够为它提供所需的运动和精神刺激”。Danish-Swedish farmdog lovers talked for several years about whether they should try to get AKC recognition and the attention that is likely to come with it, Segebart said. The number of people wanting to buy a young farmdog, or puppy, has grown quickly over the last ten years. The wait for a DSF puppy is usually a year or more, she said. Segebart 说，丹麦和瑞典的农场狗爱好者多年来一直在讨论他们是否应该尝试获得 AKC 的认可以及可能随之而来的关注。过去十年里，想要购买年轻农场狗或小狗的人数迅速增加。她说，等待 DSF 小狗的时间通常是一年或更长时间。 Fans of the breed worry that its appealing, relatively easy-care nature could make it quickly become too popular for its own good. They are not the first to worry. Similar concerns surround the French bulldog, which the AKC now says is the most popular breed in the country. Breeding for desired qualities has led to many health problems for the dogs. 该品种的粉丝担心，它的吸引力和相对容易照顾的性质可能会使其很快变得太受欢迎，而不利于其自身的利益。他们并不是第一个担心的人。类似的担忧也围绕着法国斗牛犬，AKC 现在表示法国斗牛犬是该国最受欢迎的品种。为了获得所需的品质而进行的繁殖导致了狗的许多健康问题。

The incident occurred on January 15, leading to a code-red lockdown. Superintendent Chris Ragsdale expressed condolences and emphasized the need to identify students needing help. This marks the third shooting on a Cobb County School District campus in the past year. The district invests over $35 million annually in safety, including its own police force and a partnership with Servius Group for threat assessments and tracking safety indicators, including mental health and trafficking risks. STORY 2: Marietta Domestic Violence Shelter to Open Pet Sanctuary LiveSafe Resources in Marietta is adding four pet shelter units to its 40-bed emergency shelter, allowing domestic violence survivors to bring their pets. This initiative addresses a significant barrier, as many victims delay leaving abusive situations due to concerns for their pets' safety. About 47% of victims hesitate to leave, with 78% facing threats to their pets. The $230,000 project, funded by grants and donations, includes amenities like heating, cooling, and outdoor play areas. This addition aims to remove barriers for survivors seeking safety, emphasizing the importance of keeping families and pets together.

The department introduced Bentley on Facebook, inviting the community to welcome him as he starts his important role in providing support to those in need. STORY 5: Powder Springs to Opt Out of Property Tax Cap Powder Springs plans to opt out of a new voter-approved property tax cap, which limits annual home value increases to the previous year's inflation rate. Instead, the city offers a flat homestead assessment freeze, providing greater tax relief. This decision aligns with other local governments like Cobb County and the cities of Kennesaw and Marietta. To comply with Georgia law, Powder Springs will hold three public hearings before passing a resolution by March 1. The hearings are scheduled for February 3, 12, and 17 at the Patricia C. Vaughn Cultural Arts Center.

It's an exciting time for sure and one that will demand a little more of Corey's attention than usual.  He'll rejoin the show as soon as things settle down a bit over there in Greenville, PA.In this, Corey's parting episode, the discussion moves to observations on the recent UKC Tournament of Champions.   We break down the hounds and the handlers of the finals and offer some pretty darn good arm-chair quarterbacking of the final three from the perspective of individuals that have seen their fair share of major events from behind the scenes.At the center of this one is a discussion on why Walker dogs win when other coonhound breeds don't.   You can almost hear the porch boards squeaking as the motion tries to keep up with the spirited conversation.   Grab a rocker and join in this “dog talk at its finest.”      

Tools to Help Protect Vulnerable Victims [caption id="attachment_12816" align="alignleft" width="335"] Pam Bruce, judging in Orlando.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Pam Bruce, a 32-year veteran of the Toronto Police Department where she was a sex crimes investigator. Pam was also Canada's first acknowledged expert in this field. With recent arrests that have dramatically impacted the purebred dog world, everybody's asking what the American Kennel Club is doing. Pam is the individual who has trained all of our AKC reps, staff and board members already. Her presentation from which today's podcast is drawn will be available to everyone in Canine College starting this month. Today's episode is an excerpt of this critically important presentation. Watch the full conversation HERE. “We can all be empowered by knowledge,” Reeves said, “and the knowledge that Pam has to share is what is going to make us all more able to handle the situations that we've been handed.” “Sex assault itself (is) intimate sexual contact with a person without their consent,” Bruce said. “And a young person does not have the capability of offering consent, the same as somebody that's vulnerable. (It may be) accompanied by force or even threat of force … “It's not for sexual gratification of an offender. It's all about power and control. But the big problem for us in our sport is it's living in the gray areas, and that comes from non-reporting. The first time an offender was caught is not the first time they offended. And when you speak to the experts about this, they say on the low end, the average of sex assaults that have been committed before an offender has been even on their radar is at least seven. “So let me just drill down a bit with vulnerable victims. A vulnerable person can be identified as someone who belongs to a group within our society, so think of dog shows, that is either oppressed or more susceptible to harm. “Anyone under the age of 18 years, or an older (person) who has an impairment due to physical, mental, or emotional function. One who is unlikely, unable, or incapable to report grooming, sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglect situations. “Now let it not be lost on anyone that the offender is the one that chooses the victim. And it's often for that exact reason that that person has a lack of capability and if they do have capability or someone to assist with that reporting, will they be believed? We must report on their behalf or assist them to do so. “The bigger issue for us and for society is what about the undetected offenders? Due to non -reporting, we don't know what we don't know. Child victims know their offender 94 percent of the time. “These people are our village, but there are victims in our village and offenders in our village and we know them, we love them. We believe we know their full being, but does anyone ever really know anyone? “'Grooming behaviors' is the idea of a perpetrator forming relationships with children. If you see an adult and they're really not friendly with a set of parents, but they're spending a lot of time around their children, I periscope up right away. I want to know why or if it's somebody vulnerable, someone disabled. If they're helping them, that's wonderful. But there is a line that should not be crossed, which is the next point, testing boundaries. Perpetrators will try to test boundaries on your child's comfort level."

Have you ever wondered how you can deepen your bond with your dog while keeping them physically and mentally stimulated?   In this episode, I dive into the thrilling world of dog sports. Historically, humans bred dogs to perform specific tasks—herding, hunting, guarding, you name it. But as society has evolved, the need for these canine jobs has diminished. Enter dog sports: the modern-day answer to giving our furry friends a sense of purpose and a way to channel their natural instincts in a fun and controlled environment.   But how do you know what sport is the best for your dog? Join me for this episode as I discuss a variety of sports that cater to different interests and abilities. I highlight how each activity not only keeps your dog fit, but also enriches your relationship with them. The sports I share in this episode are:   Agility: Navigating obstacle courses with speed and accuracy. Flyball: Relay races that combine jumps and ball retrieval. Herding: Working with livestock, a test of instinct and training. Canine Freestyle: A mix of obedience, tricks, and dance with your dog. Nose Work: Harnessing a dog's natural scenting abilities. Barn Hunt: Locating rats in a barn-like setting, a safe and fun search sport. Lure Coursing: Chasing a mechanically operated lure, great for sighthounds.   Engaging in dog sports is an incredible way to enhance your dog's life and strengthen the bond you share. Whether you're competitive or just looking for a fun way to exercise with your furry friend, there's a sport for every pup.   Thank you for taking the time to help your dog become a more well-mannered mutt!

Emotional Support Animals Often confused, there is a major difference between Emotional Support Animals and Service Animals. Lori Brooks has the lowdown on what this means for you and your Emotional Support Tarantula. Yes, he'll be able to get on a plane, but he may be legally turned away from your favorite restaurant. Listen Now Dog-napped! Stolen pets are on the rise. It doesn't matter what breed you have. An estimated two million pets were stolen last year in the United States. That's up 32% according to the American Kennel Club. And the number of actual dogs stolen could be potentially much greater. You need to be extra careful with your furry-family or they might end up in the ugly under-belly of human nature. Listen Now Welcome the Pets in Bed Many experts say "keep the pets out of the bed." But a recent study from the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona could change some minds. Researchers surveyed 150 sleep center patients and found that more than half of pet owners allowed their pets to sleep in the bedroom. One out of five described their pets as disruptive, but 41% said their pets were quiet and even beneficial to their nightly sleep.

While there is no evidence yet that they can carry it or transmit it, the relevant question is if they can be sickened by it. Listen Now Read more about this week's show.

He has been called a dog whisperer.      The familiar adage, dogs are a man's best friend, rings true for over half a million households across the United States. According to the Forbes Advisor, 66% of Americans own pets, totaling nearly 89.6 million homes. Of that 89.6 million, 65.1 million are dog owners. (Information based on Pet Ownership Statistics 2024)     The numbers mentioned are based on registered ownership of dogs; however, they don't account for the countless number of people who have picked up strays or acquired a dog from a friend of a friend. Needless to say, owning a dog is a part of American culture, but what's not typical is finding legitimate breeders who take pride in ensuring the animals they breed are worthy of their bloodline. Keith Siler is anything but typical.       Keith is a breeder of the Italian Cane Corso. “The Cane Corso is a large breed originally called Italian Mastiffs. They are a beautiful breed and intelligent protectors,” Keith explains.        The Cane Corso's lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed's name roughly translates from the Latin as ‘bodyguard-dog.' Keith shares he was initially attracted to the Corso because of their beauty and their complex reputation. According to the American Kennel Club, the Cane Corso is smart, trainable, and of noble bearing. They also identify the breed as being assertive, confident, and fearless protectors.        Throughout Keith's life, he has always loved dogs. “As a kid, I always loved animals. It didn't matter if it was a stray mutt or not. I just loved dogs,” Keith explained. “When I was eleven, my mom bought me a pit bull terrier as a pet, and I've had a heart for the breed ever since.”      Keith would begin his breeding journey with the American Pit Bull Terrier and shared that, like the Corse breed, American Pit Bulls are often misunderstood. “Pit Bulls are no more dangerous than any other breed. They require love like all dogs, but most importantly, you have to know how to train the animal.”      In his late teens or early twenties, Keith started to study breeding, and he wanted to become an advocate for the pit bull terrier. “My goal wasn't just to breed the dog but to help save the bloodline. I believed that with proper breeding, I could create a stronger breed of the terrier and help change its reputation,” he shares. The American Pit Bull Terrier was categorized as a fighting dog breed in 19th-century England for just that purpose. The American Kennel Club doesn't recognize it as a distinct breed, but its cousin, the American Staffordshire Terrier, is.      The love of the breed and seeing American Pit Bulls flourish is what has kept Keith going for almost thirty years. During this period, he was faced with the challenge of helping the American Pit Bull Terrier escape its image as a savage fighter. “As a kid, I didn't know what I had. It was a pet, a friend, and a companion to me. It wasn't until I became an adult that I learned what the Pit Bull breed was created for and why people wanted them. I felt like they were given a label because of how people chose to train and use them, not for what they were. For me, they were affectionate, protective, friendly, and playful, and I believed they could gain a different reputation with proper breeding. Yet, no matter what I did. I couldn't seem to move the needle,” he says.      Breeding and boarding animals is an expensive business that can yield big dividends. Still, buyers didn't want to invest in the quality that Keith had poured his soul into. “The biggest issue I came across was that people wanted quality but didn't want to pay for it. I had a good reputation, but because I was from the area, people assumed my dogs were subpar,” Keith explained. “In truth, I was able to achieve my goal of creating a stronger bloodline with the American Pit Bull Terrier, but no one was willing to pay for the quality of the animal.”      A period of rest would settle upon Keith, and he took a ten-year break from the breeding business. As fate would have it, his love for dogs brought him back. “I was disappointed that in all that time, I hadn't succeeded in helping change people's perspective of the Pit Bull. I had to realize that I was only one person. I could only do so much.” Keith shared. “I wanted to give breeding another try because I loved what I did.” This time, he ensured everything would be in place to make his breeding business successful, which involved finding the right dog.       The time arrived when Keith was ready to resume breeding. He had a specific breed in mind. After investing so much into breeding the American Pit Bull and not getting a satisfying return on his investment, his focus changed to another breed of dog. “This time, I had done my research and set my sights on the Presa Canario,” he says.      The Perro de Presa Canario is described as a strong-willed, confident, yet calm breed. It has an excellent reputation for being obedient and docile but suspicious of strangers. Keith says their nature offers a commercial appeal the average dog lover wants. Amazingly, in his effort to procure the Presa Canario, he was redirected when a friend introduced him to the Cane Corso. “I had a lead on a Presa Canario, but it fell through,” Keith explained, “Then, one of my friends, Allen Holmes, called me and enlightened me about the Cane Corso breed. He owned two of them, and he sent me a video, and I was sold.”      Because of the strength and dominance the Cane Corso is born with, potential breeders are encouraged to do their homework. According to the American Kennel Club, at almost 28 inches tall and sometimes weighing more than one hundred pounds, the Corso, with their large heads and rippling muscles, project an imposing and intimidating image. The animal is said to look and think the way a bodyguard would. The breed is intelligent, loyal, and eager to please, yet it can be willful and leave the owner wondering who is the master. For this reason, it's recommended that breeders and owners understand that it is essential to establish dominance early with regular training.        “I was told that if I was serious about breeding these dogs, I needed to do about two years of research and preparation,” Keith says. After completing his research, Keith knew he had found his breed. In 2020, he launched his new breeding business, Siler's Cane Corso's, and hasn't looked back.      Again, Keith loves all dogs, regardless of breed, and his love for the Corso is authentically genuine. He says, “Despite their reputation for being strong-willed and sensitive, these animals are so majestic and intelligent that training them is easy. I now have eight in my kennel, and people are amazed at how well-behaved they are.”      Keith is taking steps to build the reputation needed to be seen as a serious contender in the Corso community. “I have secured my breeder's license and Kennel number. I have also entered several dog shows to get our name out there. My ultimate goal is to make breeding the Corso my only source of income. That's just how much I love working with these dogs,” Keith shares. He also plans to help potential owners by educating them about the importance of continuing and maintaining the lifelong training the Corso requires. “Right now, I breed them, but I plan to expand my Kennel's services and assist people with training.”      As a breeder, Keith must possess a great amount of attention to detail. “Because this breed is so exclusive, sometimes the cost for purchase can be prohibitive. So, I am careful about who I sell the dogs to. I need them to understand the investment they are making when they purchase one of my Cane Corsos,” he says.       As Keith continues to build the Siler Cane Corso brand, he is concerned about how his efforts will benefit the Cane Corso breed's longevity. “Just like the American Pit Bull, I want to bring more awareness to the Cane Corso breed. I want to be intentional about breeding and create something that will continue its bloodline,” he says. These are the true words of a breeder and natural lover of all dogs.     Please click on the link below to read the edition of Huami Magazine that Keith Siler is featured in.  You may also contact Keith Siler at 336-686-4201 https://issuu.com/terrywatson7/docs/triad2_f12f41223ae45c/18?fr=sZDljZjcwMDkyNTg   www.huamimagazine.com

LIVE Debate: Should Professional Handlers Be Allowed in BPUP? Our final installation for Spicy October is a LIVE@5 debate between an owner handler and a professional handler regarding the hot topic of the rules around the BPUP, 4-6 months puppy competition. Natalie Thurman, owner handler: [caption id="attachment_12504" align="alignleft" width="351"] Natalie Thurman and Ares winning Owner Handled Group.[/caption] I do think that there are people who start out and it is intimidating to go up against the Laura's and the Karyn's of the world because you just make it look so easy and then we try to go do it and then it's not as easy. Not even a little bit. I mean I know it's why we have owner handled groups. But if you're not getting to the owner handled group either BPUP could be a good place to feel safe as a non-experienced dog show human. Karyn Cowdrey, professional handler: I believe everyone should have the opportunity, including breeder owner handlers, to show in BPUP. Why? Because the fact of reality of our life today is there are fewer and fewer handling classes people can get to. As handlers, often we're the ones teaching the handling class and we don't get to work our dogs in the environment. As a handler, it is important to me that my puppies that I own, that I bred, that I decided to keep, get the best experience they can in the [caption id="attachment_12503" align="alignright" width="377"] Karyn Cowdrey, BlackFyre Handling Services.[/caption] start of life in the ring. I shouldn't have to hand them off to a total stranger. Laura Reeves, host and moderator: The concept (of BPUP) is that the American Kennel Club wants to support the novice handlers and that the simple presence of someone more capable than they are, whether they be a professional or a breeder or what have you, is unnerving. And I don't know that that's a great solution. I think we all learn by being challenged, but I know it is something that is a thing. AKC gets banged a lot for not being encouraging and inviting and we as the representatives of the AKC get banged for the same thing. I sincerely believe that for people who think it is a big deal, they should get to do that. They should get to have that moment. Hope is what gets us and keeps us. And I guess that's what I would pin Best Puppy to. Is that baby inkling of hope. That tiny tingle of hope that the very new person gets when they get their first puppy. And they are so excited and they don't know what the hell they're doing. And their breeder's probably shoving them in the ring. And they're really encouraging them to do this. It's hope. And I guess to me, when I judge it, when I see it, best puppy to me represents hope. It represents the hope that we as breeders have for those puppies that are in the ring. It represents the hope that those owners and handlers have for their new puppies. It's hope. BPUP represents the hope that those owners and handlers have for their new puppies. It's hope. The part of me that thinks that hope is important, thinks that owner handled being what is important and encouraging new people being what's important, I see the argument to make it a quote -unquote safe space from professionals.

After three decades of Labrador retrievers taking the lead, the American Kennel Club has…

One of the most fulfilling aspects of our lives is the opportunity for connection. We were not designed to live life on our own, but today's world makes it so easy to be self-focused instead of others-focused. John 13 tells us we should love one another as Christ loved us and “…by this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” When we ask God to show us places we can connect to others, we will begin to reap the many benefits of those bonds, and also find ways to bless others as well.  Country music trailblazer Jo Dee Messina is known for her chart-topping hits, but in the process of building her legendary career, she found that everything she'd built was crumbling, mostly because she'd tried to do it on her own. That's when she found God (or actually, He found her), and she began to see the importance of connection with Him, which in turn led her to see her music as her connection point to the world. Founder of Canines for Christ Larry Randolph and author Jennifer Bleakley found ways to connect with their faith through their animal friends, and they share how help and hope is brought to the world through the gift of therapy dogs.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Walker Zimmerman Upcoming interview: Jordan Davis Samaritan's Purse: https://sampur.se/44HesSt    Jo Dee Messina  Steve Green “Just To Be Loved”   Larry Randolph Jennifer Bleakley National Dog Day Canines for Christ American Kennel Club  American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizens certification Finding Grace   Interview Quotes: “I think at the very end of myself is where in my spirit, in my soul, I sensed Jesus saying, ‘She's mine.'” - Jo Dee Messina “For me to connect with the fans is more of a humanities thing, being able to have compassion and empathy for someone else's situation, which just happens to be the same as mine.” - Jo Dee Messina “I was a hot mess. I built a kingdom on my own, I watched it crumble, and even at the very end of that—when everyone else was running away—[God] was running towards me.” - Jo Dee Messina  “Looking back, I can see how God planted seeds in my heart that day that would one day sprout into a career of writing books and stories about all the beautiful ways God works through animals to direct people's hearts and minds to Himself.” - Jennifer Bleakley “[God] had planned for me all along to have this dog in my life, this basset hound named Gus, to set up what was going to happen next for me, and that was to create a ministry using therapy dogs.” - Larry Randolph   “[A dog] can just put a little paw up on somebody's hand or in a wheelchair or give somebody a little kiss on the cheek, and wag that tail, and all of a sudden you see the loneliness stop and the sadness just go away. And it's beautiful to see how the dogs can just bring that out. It's just that beautiful way of sharing the powerful love of Christ.”- Larry Randolph “It's so kind of God to provide dogs to step in when people have been hurt by other people. And then here's a beautiful dog that's able to enter into their heart where maybe another person could not, and help them experience the love of God, the tenderness of God, the faithfulness of God.” - Jennifer Bleakley  “If you listen to God and you obey Him, you take one step forward, God will be there with you through the steps and He will guide you through it and amazing things can happen.” - Larry Randolph  “Just that practice of having an animal sit with you as you sit with the Savior, and a tangible reminder that we're never truly alone, that God Almighty, the God of all comfort and hope, is with us. And I think that is just one of the many, many gifts that our animals can give us. It's really an invitation to see ourselves in this story and to ask and to ponder, What might God be asking me to do?” - Jennifer Bleakley ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

The AKC is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States.  With the AKC drawing its income from the staggering quantity of puppies registered in its books, it's no wonder why the organization habitually opposes laws designed to curb massive, irresponsible breeding, and is interfering with the good work of nonprofit animal rescues.We hope someday the AKC will join us in championing some basic common-sense laws to prevent animal cruelty. Until then, we will continue to educate the public about what AKC really stands for: protecting the profits of the puppy mill industry.You can help stop all forms of animal cruelty. Please give today.Contact us at podcast@humanesociety.org to offer feedback and suggest future episode topics.
