A podcast about how dogs make our lives better
The simple idea behind Dog Save The People is to look at how the selfless act of caring for a dog transforms who we are as people.
It helps us learn to love ourselves, connect with one another, and treat all living beings with empathy and respect.
We speak to everyday people about their dogs as well as experts in the field. This also includes scientists, authors, trainers, artists, and more.
