In this episode of The Human-Canine Alliance, Stacie explores the powerful connection between humans and dogs, highlighting both grassroots rescue efforts and groundbreaking scientific research. She spotlights inspiring initiatives like Police Helping Paws and Eric and Joey—Instagram accounts making a real impact—while diving into a special edition of TIME Magazine, How Dogs Think: Inside the Canine Mind.

Did you know that a dog's brain has 40 times more space dedicated to smell than a human’s? Or that the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led Congress to mandate disaster preparedness plans that accommodate pets? These fascinating insights shed light on the deep-rooted bond we share with our canine companions.

Stacie also shares a heartfelt story about her dog, Blue, and provides an exciting update on Toto—a rescue dog now in foster care with hopes of a forever home. Plus, she’s offering free promotional support to rescues and fosters struggling to place dogs—if you have a hard-to-place pup, reach out to THCA for podcast and social media exposure!
