  1. 258: T saved her dog Scott Johnson & Glassbox Media. 54:11

I have two children, one boy and one girl. Actually they’re not
children, they’re adults and they’re on their own now of course.

But
I still have a couple of young lives that I’m responsible for. I’m
talking about my two dogs, Lilly and Fenway, they are both Yorkies,
and obviously I would do anything for those little pups. They’re
actually getting up there in dog years now – they’re 12 and 13.
But they’re in good Health so far, we go for a walk twice a day,
and they still Love chasing a ball sometimes. But I know they are in
their golden years so I’m trying to appreciate every minute I have
with them.

I
think anyone who’s a dog lover can identify with wanting to protect
your dog from any type of harm that might come their way. I mean, I
don’t want them to run into the street, I don’t want them to eat
something that might be harmful, and I surely don’t want them to
get into a fight with another dog.

My
guest today goes by the nickname “T”. Not the word “tea”,
just the letter “T”. She found herself in a situation where her
dog was in trouble. And she had to make a split-second decision.

And
I’m gonna do something here that I don’t normally do – I’m
gonna tell you ahead of time that today, T and her wonderful dog are
doing fine. The story does have a happy ending. I don’t usually
have spoilers here in the opener, but I know some listeners would not
want to hear a story if the dog doesn’t make it. And I don’t
blame you – I wouldn’t want to hear that either. But you’re
safe with this one.

So I
hope you enjoy the story of T, and how she saved her dog’s life.
