This week on A Dog’s Devotion, I sit down with the founder of Flying Fur Animal Rescue — a U.S. Army veteran whose life of service didn’t end when he left the military. Instead, it took flight in a whole new way.

He shares how Flying Fur Animal Rescue began, what keeps him going through the heartbreak, and why this work is so important — now more than ever. As a pilot, rescuer, and deeply compassionate human, he flies animals out of desperate situations, giving them a second chance at life when they need it most. His dedication, courage, and commitment to service make him the true definition of a hero.

This episode is also a gentle reminder — inspired by my beloved Max — that every act of kindness matters. Whether you’re rescuing animals, fostering, donating, volunteering, sharing stories, or simply loving a dog deeply, the work we all do — no matter how big or small — truly makes a difference.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for listening and for being part of this compassionate, dog-loving community. Your support means everything. 🤍

Welcome back! A Dog's Devotion is kicking off a brand new year. We hope you enjoyed your holidays, and spent some time relaxing and enjoying the company of loved ones.
We took some time off, and are now refreshed and ready for the new adventures that 2026 will bring. We also welcomed a new member of our family, Smokey. A 7 year old Yorkie who we rescued from Adopt & Save a Life Rescue in Florida. He will never replace the love l had for Max, that will never go away. However, the sound of little paws running around, the dog cuddles and kisses are so nice to have again.

This is the first episode of 2026, and it is a special one. For any of you who have loved a senior dog, adopted a senior dog, and then ultimately had to say goodbye to a senior this one will touch your heart.

In this very special first episode of 2026, A Dog’s Devotion explores the extraordinary bond we share with older dogs — a love that is quiet, patient, and profoundly unconditional. Inspired by the beautiful book Unconditional: Older Dogs, Deeper Love, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that senior dogs don’t come with less love — they come with more.

Older dogs teach us how to slow down, how to be present, and how to love without expectations. Their eyes hold stories, their hearts hold gratitude, and their devotion runs deeper than words can express.

This episode is for anyone who has loved a senior dog, lost one, or is considering opening their heart to an older pup who still has so much love to give. It’s about choosing compassion, honoring experience, and recognizing that sometimes the most meaningful love arrives when we least expect it.

Thank you to my guest Jane Sobel Klonsky for joining me, talking about your book and sharing your love of senior dogs.

The holidays can be one of the hardest times to grieve the loss of a beloved pet. The joy all around can feel heavy when the one you love most is missing.

This is my second Christmas without Max, and I still cry — often. The grief doesn’t disappear just because time has passed. If you’re feeling this too, please know you are not alone.

In this very special and deeply personal episode, I’m joined by pet loss grief counselor Beth Biglar, who offers compassion, understanding, and gentle guidance for anyone navigating pet loss during the holidays. We talk about love, loss, and how to move through this season with kindness toward yourself. Beth also shares her 12 Days of Christmas support for grieving pet parents — small, meaningful ways to help you cope, one day at a time.

This episode is meant to hold space for you. To remind you that there is a dog-loving community out there, ready to support you, to listen, and to walk beside you through the grief.

This is also the final episode of the season. As we close out this year, I want to thank you — truly — for listening, for sharing, and for being part of A Dog’s Devotion.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas, and sending you love and peace during this tender season.
