Season 1 · Episode 93

Wednesday, December 17, 2025 • Duration 46:08

This episode is a re-release of a powerful and eye-opening conversation with Bob Bryant, co-founder of Mission K9 Rescue.

This organization is dedicated to saving, reuniting, rehoming, rehabilitating, and repairing military working dogs (MWDs), contract working dogs (CWDs), and police canines who have completed their service.

🎖️ What Happens to Our K9 Veterans?

We delve into the often-unspoken fate of these heroic dogs, who are frequently classified as "excess equipment" and left behind, especially in foreign countries, after giving their all for our safety.

- 1300+ Dogs Saved: Mission K9 Rescue has rescued over 1300 working dogs.

- 682 Reunions: Over 680 of those dogs have been reunited with their former handlers.

- $2 Million+ in Vet Care: The organization has spent millions on repairing the dogs who suffer from injuries and conditions sustained during their service.

Bob shares the incredible, sometimes difficult, journey of his non-profit—from its unexpected founding to the struggles of securing funding to keep their vital mission afloat.

The Logistics of Rescue & Rehabilitation

- The Afghanistan Dogs: Hear the story of the dogs tragically left behind in Kabul and the process of bringing them home, with transport costs reaching up to $6,000 per dog from that region.

- Contract vs. Military Working Dogs (CWDs vs. MWDs): Learn the crucial difference in ownership and the often inferior veterinary care and treatment received by CWDs, who are owned by private companies.

- Health and Retirement: The average working dog retires around nine years old due to loss of work drive or injury. They discuss the prevalence of orthopedic issues, cancers (due to hazardous compound exposure), and PTSD—and how Mission K9 addresses these intense medical and emotional needs.

Is CBD safe for pets and how best to use it? | SOP ep. 1 - Dr. Jeff Powers

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 • Duration 54:44

Our guest today, Dr. Jeff Powers discusses CBD use in pets.

The main areas that CBD has scientifically been shown to be beneficial for is reducing, pain and, increasing movement in dogs with osteoarthritis. Much like in people, CBD has been shown in studies to reduce frequency of seizures in dogs.

There's increasing work now in the area of anxiety and the results have been mixed. But what they have found, in a recent study, is as long as you get a significant amount of CBD, into the pet, it can also be beneficial in reducing anxiety as well.

And so some vets may be up to speed on where it can be used and when it can be used, and a lot of other ones may not be, or may be fearful to even recommend it because of potential legal implications because it's not a pharmaceutically approved medicine at this point, except for there's one approved.

They Rescue "Uncatchable" Dogs! | Speaking of Pets episode 90 - Vanessa Petrosky Take 2

Season 1 · Episode 90

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 52:01

We’re back with Vanessa Petrosky, founder of Remy’s Pet Recovery, for a powerful Take 2 of one of our most loved episodes — all about what really happens when a dog goes missing and how one small nonprofit in Northeast Ohio is quietly saving lives.

Vanessa walks us through her current tough case, Cooper the border collie, and explains why well-meaning people chasing, calling, and “trying to help” actually make things worse. She breaks down what to do (and absolutely NOT do) the moment your dog goes missing, why lost dogs go into survival mode, and how she uses traps, cameras, maps, and community cooperation to safely bring terrified dogs home.

We also dig into:

- Why you should never post live sightings with exact locations on social media

- How to use flyers, mapping, and food stations the right way

- Why newly adopted dogs must decompress before walks, stores, and groomers

- Martingale collars, slip leads, microchips, GPS collars & keeping escape artists safe

- Working with (and sometimes around) well-intended police and neighbors

- The emotional story of Mira, a dog-fighting survivor who learned how to be loved

- Vanessa’s biggest pet peeve: “He always comes back… until he doesn’t.”

You’ll also hear how Remy’s is funded, how their annual fundraiser keeps them going, and why Vanessa’s car looks like a cross between a rescue truck and a survival kit.

If you love dogs, foster, adopt, or just want to be the person who actually helps instead of accidentally hurting, this episode is a must-listen.
