This show was so jammed with great guests that we actually could have done an entire show with each one of them!
The Westminster Charity for Therapy Dogs!
One very pleasant surprise was that David Frei, TV commentator for Westminster Dog Show and the NBC Purina National Dog Show called in for a visit. David is America’s foremost authority on all breeds of dogs and has been commentating for the Westminster Show for 20 years! He is truely a great guy to talk with and hope he will stop back again in the future. David shares his adventures with UNO the beagle, last years winner of the Westminster show, and other interesting facts. David also talks about Angel on a Leash, a great charity that champions working with therapy dogs in health care facilities, schools, rehab, extended care, correctional institutions, and crisis intervention.Â
