Looking for inspiration this holiday season? Two women, two dogs, two amazing stories. Terry and Dee caught up with Desiree, the long distance trucker, whose story touched their hearts earlier in the year. Since that original interview in July, Desiree and her dog Karma have shared their story with nearly 5000 followers on Twitter and appeared on national TV. Desiree is an advocate for distance truckers and Karma is her constant companion. Follow them at twitter.com/TruckerDesiree. The second conversation on this holiday special is with Jamie Whitt, first interviewed by Bark Radio in May. Jamie is a hero. And Ceasar is the man! Well, actually Ceasar is dog. A big, beautiful Pit Bull with a face to melt your heart. When these two met, Ceasar had been thrown away – no longer useful as a bait dog in a Texas dog fighting ring. He had horrible injuries including a mangled front leg. Jamie rescued Ceasar. Jamie fell in love with the big lug. Ceasar had that mangled leg amputated, healed physically and emotionally, and earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. What’s next on Ceasar’s agenda? Testing to become a therapy dog.
