OK We had a great show BUT I had a bit of an issue! If you listened to the show for the David Frei interview it did not play initially on the show because for some reason it was not processed! OH BROTHER…that’s show biz! Anyway, we were able to get the interview edited into the show so it should now be streaming and be available for download. If it does not show up you can always hear the interview on last week’s show!
The Westminster Charity for Therapy Dogs!
David Frei, TV commentator for Westminster Dog Show and the NBC Purina National Dog Show . 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

Jeff and Butch
Beautiful radio show. David Frei’s Angel on a Leash program does so much to help people in need of the unconditional love dogs provide and, residually, it supports all pet therapy programs.
Also, Jeff I enjoyed chatting with you at the Pet Writing Conference. That Butch’s one lucky dog!
Your pals, Helen and Raja
