Kelly and her husband had been professional photographers working together for years but an idea was the genesis for going viral and this incredible project: Dancers and Dogs.
They previously took professional photos of dancers and wanted to combine their passion as huge dog lovers. The idea evolved and Dancers and Dogs was created by pairing the simple, clean backgrounds, the simple clothing styles, the lighting. They've created a way to show the lighter side of the dance world, since dancers are often depicted as being so serious, and sometimes even unapproachable or like fairy-tale creatures.
They are donating a portion of their proceeds to Stray Rescue based in St. Louis

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Elizabeth âBethâ Bellanti who is the Program Manager of Vodka for Dog People on behalf of Titoâs Handmade Vodka.
If you're looking for a vodka label that also supports dog welfare, look no further than Titoâs Handmade Vodka. Titoâs Handmade Vodka has created Vodka for Dog People, which is their organization that supports dog rescue, animal welfare organizations, and spay neuter programs across America. Looking out for dogs, in particular, has been at the core of Titoâs mission over the past 20 years. Bertito "Tito" Beveridge II first started distilling his now famous vodka in a shack in Austin, Texas.
Tito always brought his dog with him to the shack to work all day, where he would put food out and noticed that a handful of strays were being attracted by the food. Tito was struggling to get his business off the ground but he didn't let that stop him from caring for homeless dogs. He then worked to get as many dogs re-homed as possible.
Beth joined Tito early on within his journey and because she came from a family where they were all rescuers. Beth worked with Tito and the staff to rescue, re-home and get necessary vet care for the pups including spay and neuter surgeries. Dogs and animal advocacy are intrinsically aligned with success for the Titoâs brand.
Over the past 20 years, Titoâs Handmade Vodka has re-homed over 90 dogs out of their corporate headquarters/distillery. Vodka for Dog People has over 2300 partnerships per year with animal welfare programs. Titoâs Handmade Vodka continues to be a dog-friendly company that is committed to solving for animals in needs, including resources to spay and neuter.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker has a conversation with Matt Beisner of Zen Dog in LA and the star of Nat Geo Wildâs Dog Impossible Show
Note to my listeners, I am obsessed with Dog Impossible and I am so excited to chat with Matt to learn more about the show.
Beisner, owner of THE ZEN DOG http://www.thezendog.com, a cutting-edge dog facility in downtown Los Angeles, believes there are no bad dogs and knows every dog is capable of transformation. Through his work at THE ZEN DOG, Beisner risks his life and limbs for these animals because, as he says, âI used to be like them.â After his own life was saved through personal transformation, he rescued a dog, found his calling and came to understand that every relationship, especially that which you have with your dog, only works if itâs based on Respect, Trust and Love.
Beisnerâs background makes him a fascinating person to chat with, Matt previously struggled with substance abuse and he found himself in jail. While recovering after getting out of jail, Beisner was challenged by an aggressive terrier who was owned by his roommate. That terrier named Kingston proved to be a turning point for him and his transformation. Beisner began to work with this dog and then began to tackle more cases, this was the inception of Zen Dog. Beisner experienced a quick rise to stardom when a celebrity client leveraged Beisner to help with a dog that they were struggling with. His approach that there are no bad dogs make him a final contact for a lot of people who find themselves at their witâs end.
Beisner brings a unique and gentle approach to building relationships with each pet. âIâm a teacher at heart,â states Beisner. âHelping hopeless dogs is my purpose.â Catch up on Dog Impossible on streaming platforms and enjoy this conversation which includes a deep-dive into the case covered in the show.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Lori Wells who is the dog mom and handler of Piglet who won the 2019 Search & Rescue Hero Dog.
But thereâs another âPigletâ in town: an eight-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog. This Piglet, a veteran search and rescue dog, is trained and certified to help families in arduous times. Nothing could have prepared Piglet and handler Lori Wells for the inconceivable conditions on a recent deployment. Called to aid in the aftermath of the horrific âCamp Fireâ in Paradise, California, this little dog deployed to do all she could to help. Piglet provides a vital service. The value of her work in bringing answers to grieving families is immeasurable.
She assists in locating people on land and in water. Once, human searchers spent seven days combing a lake with no luck. On day eight, Piglet deployed and located the subject. She helped the coroner by locating enough bones to reconstruct and positively identify the individual. Lori and Piglet donate hundreds of volunteer hours annually and depart for each call-out with enthusiasm. Traveling thousands of miles a year does not diminish Pigletâs bubbly personality and happy-go-lucky attitude. In her off-hours, she loves making friends. At events sheâs always a crowd-pleaser with a wagging tail, signature âsmile,â and endless kisses.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Dawn Rudolph who is the dog mom and handler of Leader Dog Lady who won the 2019 Hero Guide Dog Award.
Dawn Rudolph is legally blind and Leader Dog Lady is her guide dog. Dawn shares with The Woof Life show how much her world has changed so much since Lady came into her life. Leader Dogs are the eyes to support their handler and are trained like a Secret Service Agent to put their own life in danger before harm could come to their handler.
Leader Dog Ladyâs life started in a peculiar way, she lived for the first year of her life with an inmate in Iowa named Kevin. Kevin worked diligently to train her with other inmates as a part of the program through Leader Dogs for the Blind. Interestingly the long-term success rate of pups trained in prisons is better for placement as a lead dog as compared to other training programs.
Since Lady came into Dawnâs life, her world has been vastly improved: they travel, they set goals, and conquer challenges like everyone else. Friends and family always ask them Leader Dog Lady what their upcoming adventures will be. They educate people about Leader Dogs for the Blind, go to Lions Club conventions to promote Leader Dogs for the Blind. We attend big events and fundraisers for this wonderful organization. July will be their four-year anniversary as a team. What a beautiful partnership and itâs so incredible to hear about the impact that a dog has on someoneâs quality of life.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Caroline Zuendel who is the dog mom and handler of Sergeant Yeager who won the 2019 Military Hero Dog Award.
Sergeant Yeager honorably performed combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Improvised Explosive Detection Dog with the United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Yeager has been credited with detecting the locations of dozens of explosive devices. During his three combat tours, Sgt. Yeager participated in over 100 patrols, and was tasked with clearing routes for his fellow Marines. On April 12, 2012, Sgt. Yeager suffered shrapnel wounds from an IED that caused him to lose part of his ear.
He was awarded the Purple Heart for his injuries. Unfortunately, the same explosion took the life of his handler, Lance Corporal Abraham Tarwoe. The pair was virtuously trying to protect the other Marines in the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Fellow Marines attest to the unbreakable bond between Tarwoe and Sgt. Yeager. After the attack, Sgt. Yeager was transported back to the U.S. and treated for his injuries until he was stable enough to retire from the USMC. Lance Corporal Tarwoeâs widow was unable to adopt Sgt. Yeager as she would now be raising their infant son alone. Sgt. Yeager was adopted by another Marine Corps family. Today, at 12 years of age, Sgt. Yeager is beginning to show signs of aging, though his spirit is undiminished. Despite his trials and witnessing acts of terrorism, Yeager remains a sweet dog with an infinitely joyful disposition. He has settled in North Carolina with his family, where he is an ambassador for the Project K-9 Hero Foundation, which pays 100% of his medical bills from his sustained injuries. In September of 2019, Sgt. Yeager also received the Medal of Courage Award!

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Anna Barbosa who is the dog mom and handler of Gus who won the Shelter Hero Dog Award. The Woof Life also got the honor of interviewing Anna who rescued and helped Gus who was discovered as a homeless dog on the streets of Houston who had suffered abuse at the hands of humans.
Gus was seen by a rescuer on the road with a head so swollen that he looked like a seal as opposed to a dog. Someone had tied a shoelace around his neck which caused his entire head to swell. He required extensive medical care and a long journey of healing. Once Gus was in better health and could be adopted, Anna who worked for the rescue realized that this boy had stolen her heart.
Gus is a poster child and an advocate for the crisis of homeless animals in Houston as well as an advocate for shelter dogs who have suffered at the hands of humans and suffered from animal abuse.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Tara Murillo who is the dog mom and handler of Alice who won the Service Hero Dog Award. The Woof Life also got the honor of interviewing Sheriffâs Deputy John Forlenza who is the handler to Dax the Hero dog winner of the Law Enforcement/ Arson category.
Tara Murillo and her family were victims of senseless gun violence which changed their life in an instant. In 2015, Antonio was a normal, playful nine-year old who loved soccer and his friends. Then, on a normal day, while riding in the back of his parentsâ SUV with his younger brothers on the way to a family dinner, a man fired three to five bullets into their car and shot him in the head. Since that day Antonio has been fighting the battle of a lifetime. He spent 18 days in a coma and has endured five brain surgeries.
Antonio not only battles seizures, but migraines, balance issues, spells and more. In October of 2016, Antonio was paired with his service dog, Alice, from Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs in Florida. His mom, Tara, says, âAlice is a hero in our eyes, because without her, Antonio would not be able to do the simple things in life that we take for granted.â
We then get an opportunity to chat with John Forlenza who is the handler to Dax.
Dax began his successful career with the Lake County (IL) Sheriffâs Office almost four years ago. He has been directly responsible for tracking and successfully apprehending over 70 suspects. Dax has also been accountable for tracking and finding dozens of missing or endangered children and adults. Dax has been used for over 100 narcotic searches resulting in the seizure of over 17 kilos of cocaine, heroin and other narcotics, hundreds of pounds of cannabis, approximately three quarters of a million dollars in currency, dozens of firearms, and vehicles.
Daxâs tireless drive, dedication to training, love for police work, and incredible success stories have gained him thousands of supporters from across the country. Dax has proven to be an outstanding K9 hero!

She was put up for adoption while she was healing and recovering from surgery. Lydia took one look at her and it was love at first sight.
Jeanie has acted as a certified therapy dog for both her family and for so many people. They work to visit veterans, help children coping with loss and/or traumatic experiences, speaking to children and generally bringing joy wherever they go!
Jeanie has been honored by the Hero Dog Awards because she gives love and comfort to those who need it most. She will pick the person out of the room who needs the most help and approach them.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Emily Giambalvo, who is a writer at The Washington Post. She recently published an incredibly important article highlighting the impact that Michael Vick's dogs so many years later. The exposure of that dogfighting ring at the helm of such a public figure changed everyone's lives but most importantly, the pups' lives. These Pitbulls were victims of one of the most if not the most public dogfighting ring exposures ever.
Washington Post Cover story here
Emily, the author, is a passionate animal lover and wanted to tell the story from her POV. She worked tirelessly and researched over months to learn about each of the lives that those pups went on to live.
These pups were saved, and their ownership was turned over to organizations such as Best Friend's Animal Society, BADRAP, Recycled Love, Out of the Pits and various local SPCA and other animal rescue organizations where they were rehabilitated before they could be adopted into homes.
Those 47 dogs had scars that stuck with them both visible and invisible, however, the impact of these pups is that it moved the needle on how these dogfighting seizures would be managed in the future. Having such a high profile case with an NFL player put these dogs on the center stage. Emily worked to ensure that she learned about each of these pups giving this article emotional weight that sticks with you!
Enjoy this incredible interview!
