In today’s episode of The Buzby Dog Podcast we are going to discuss seven simple ways that you can modify your home and your lifestyle to help your senior dog enjoy life to the fullest.
Oh Mercy! How a Rescued Dog Rescued Me
In today’s episode, we have our first guest, Frank Huey, my friend who is going to share his story of his dog Mercy. Frank is an excellent writer, and he was kind enough to write Mercy’s story for us, and I thought it would be a great podcast episode. It is amazing what an enormous impact a seemingly small act of kindness can have on our lives. Many of you probably have a pretty similar story to Frank and have been amazed at what a profound change a dog can have in your life. I think you’ll love Frank’s story, and I hope it inspires you to perform random acts of kindness. Your mercy will be rewarded, just like Frank’s was.
