This is the first episode ever of Bark Radio that does not deal with dogs. So why Wild Mustangs? Because at this very moment there are more Wild Mustangs in government holding pens than in the wild. Because the Bureau of Land Management is “managing” the herds to extinction. The story of these beautiful horses and their family units – now being ripped apart – is way too reminiscent of the history of Native Americans. Don’t miss this informative interview with Maureen from Grassroots Horse.
Search and rescue dog handler Susannah Charleson has written a real page turner – Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search and Rescue Dog. Susannah talked with us recently about her Dallas-based SAR team and her partner, six-year-old Golden Retriever, Puzzle. Susannah’s insight about dogs in general and SAR dogs in particular makes this a great read. Here she is … describing puppy Puzzle after an early “find” in training: “She flops down in the green grass, snitzes once and tosses her head, with a grin so wide it eclipses the rest of her face. She looks like a little blond Halloween pumpkin laughing there, full of merry confidence and more than a little mischief.”
