If you've ever known and loved a dog, it's not hard to understand why they're dubbed "[human’s] best friend." But they're often so much more – our confidants, our teachers and even our healers.

This episode of Big Blend Radio features Moth StorySLAM winner Anne Abel who discusses her new memoir, "Mattie, Milo, and Me" (She Writes Press, April 2024). The book shares the central role her dogs played in her healing journey as a survivor of parental abuse, and severe depression. Hear how she unwittingly rescues Milo, a dog with serious aggression issues, and finds herself unable to give up on him. Milo is dangerous, and Anne would never do anything to endanger her sons – but she also believes that everyone deserves a second chance. More: https://anneabelauthor.com/

It's the perfect podcast conversation to celebrate National Pet Day (April 11) and Canine Compassion Month (April).
