Announcement: Summer Break

Author: As It Should Be Productions June 28, 2022 Duration: 2:26
We'll be taking a brief pause from posting new episodes during July and August – but don’t worry, we will be back with new, interesting guest episodes this Fall. During our summer break, we will be working on some new show concepts to spin-off from Dog Save The People with the goal of premiering this new content in September. We are providing an exclusive sneak peek on new content development to all our friends who have donated to support the show in the past, and will seek their critical feedback as we shape the new podcast show. If you’d also like an early preview of the new spin-off show content, there is still time, and you can donate any amount of your choosing (and one-time or monthly) at www.buymeacoffee.com/dogpeopleWe are passionate about highlighting the amazing ways that life is better with dogs through stories authentically told by people who experience it firsthand. And as an independent publisher, we appreciate any and all support to help make the show happen – from sharing our social posts, buying a t-shirt at www.dogsavethepeople.com/shop, leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts, or submitting ideas for guests at www.dogsavethepeople.com/connect. Watch for our social posts over Dog Days of Summer, where we will highlight photos and illustrations from friends and artists featuring dogs, so keep following us on Instagram at www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople. Otherwise, enjoy a walk with your dog outside and make it a great day for both of you!

We often talk about saving dogs, but what happens when the roles are reversed? Dog Save The People explores that quiet, profound exchange. Hosted by Dr. Sharon Holland, an author and professor whose work examines the moral lines we draw between species, this podcast listens deeply to the stories that emerge from life with a dog. Each conversation reveals how the daily acts of feeding, walking, and caring for a canine companion can unexpectedly reshape our own routines, priorities, and emotional well-being. You’ll hear from a variety of people-families, kids, athletes, and those navigating mental health challenges-about the tangible ways a dog’s presence alters the rhythm of a home, encourages physical activity, and forges a unique kind of companionship. Produced by As It Should Be Productions, the series doesn’t offer training tips but instead considers the philosophical underpinnings of these relationships. It’s about the mutual rescue, the subtle fitness of heart and body that comes from having a responsibility to another creature. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded discussion that goes beyond the simple joy of pet ownership to consider how these bonds fundamentally alter who we are, making the case that sometimes, the leash pulls both ways. This is a podcast for anyone who suspects their dog has done more for them than they could ever repay.
