Doggie Drive-Thru Amanda Brown opened a drive-thru fast food restaurant for dogs ONLY. Your dog can get the popular Bow Wow Bowl with their choice of protein, vegetables, or grains in an edible bowl. Bane and Vader's opened their flagship store in Easton, Pennsylvania. Amanda plans to franchise this idea, which came to her when she saw research showing that humans often ordered food for their dogs when going through a fast food drive-thru. Listen Now Microchips and Misconceptions While microchips are an essential part of pet identification, they will not help you find your missing pet unless it's picked up and scanned by a veterinarian or shelter. That's why Dr. Debbie recommends a visible tag and perhaps a GPS collar. Only a GPS collar will allow you to track your pet's location using your smart device or computer. Listen Now Shop Cats Do you know of a business that has a token cat? You'll certainly appreciate the "Shop Cats" in Tamar Arslanian's new book. She features the most notable shop cats in New York stores in pictures and written words. For instance, the wine store cat with his own chiropractor, the cat that is a mascot at a dog boutique, or the occult shop cat that totes a magic wand in her mouth. Listen Now Will There Be an Animal in the Whitehouse? A philanthropist wants to do something to make the Trump White House more like those in the past: She wants Donald Trump to have a presidential pet. The very wealthy Lois Pope, who is also the widow of National Enquirer founder Generoso Pope, announced that she was giving a ten-week-old golden retriever/poodle mix puppy to the Trumps. Listen Now Clothes Wearing Alligator Gets Pardoned Following months of negotiations with Florida state officials, Mary Thorn has been given a permit that will allow her to keep her pet alligator, Rambo, who she says is fully trained and not a "normal" gator. Mary dresses Rambo in human clothing to protect his sensitive skin. Listen Now Stealing Your Pet's Pain Killers Stealing from a sick animal may seem a low way to get a drug fix, but it happens frequently. Opioid abuse is rampant, and a survey from Baylor College of Medicine reveals a surprising number of pet owners steal their pets' medications, especially painkillers, namely the drug Tramadol. Listen Now App Replaces Trump Pictures with Kittens If you love animals, you should find this pretty amusing. Google now offers an extension for its Chrome browser called Make America Kittens Again.

For a special Veterans Day edition of the show, Robin comes at you live from the streets of New York City just moments before taking part in the 2014 Veterans Day Parade where American Humane Association honored the importance of dogs to the nation’s military and their hero handlers on the other end of the leash. For this week’s show she interviews many of the guests joining her on the float, including 'Law & Order SVU' star Ice-T - an army veteran himself - and his wife Coco! Also appearing on the show are several veterans who were on the float and who American Humane Association helped reunite with their military dogs earlier this year. Finally, Mrs. Lois Pope, the nation’s foremost advocate for helping disabled veterans and an American Humane Association board member, and the woman who generously made American Humane Association’s involvement in the parade possible, was interviewed about her two passions in life: helping animals and helping our veterans.
