Unconditional Acceptance w/ Christine Hassing

Unconditional Acceptance w/ Christine Hassing

Author: As It Should Be Productions August 3, 2021 Duration: 15:14
Christine Hassing is an author, leadership mentor, and inspirational speaker. Her soulmate dog, Roo, inspired her first memoir “To the Moon and Back to Me” and sparked her passion for writing. But while Christine’s first book focused on her own dog relationship, her new book “Hope Has a Cold Nose” illuminates the stories of veterans and the healing power of their service dogs. Dealing with PTSD, veterans are able to find a friend they need through their furry companion’s unconditional acceptance.

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.
