Oh My Dog! Christmas Special: Festive Chaos, Gift Giving & Meaty Bubbles

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of Oh My Dog! chaos.This festive special kicks off with technical hiccups (missing Seann, misbehaving mics), before a gift exchange that goes slightly off-plan but is full of genuine festive joy - and Dolly absolutely smashing it.Along the way we talk dogs ageing and dog years, whether any of us are ready for a second dog, share an update on animal testing, and end with an AI-generated Christmas joke in the style of Jack Dee before Seann bravely tries the meaty bubbles!

⚠️ Some listeners/viewers may find parts of this episode distressing.In this Oh My Dog mini-documentary, Sara visits Camp Beagle, the protest camp outside MBR Acres, a facility that has been breeding beagle puppies for animal testing for over 50 years.Over the course of the visit, we meet camp resident Sole, hear the dogs inside the facility, and learn what happens to puppies bred for laboratory experiments - and why campaigners believe animal testing is both unethical and outdated.This is a first-person report of what Sara saw, heard, and felt while at Camp Beagle.I recommend watching this episode, either on Spotify or on YouTube: @ompod.I’d really like to know how this made you feel, so please leave a comment or email the show: [email protected] you for watching/listening.Still a way to go so please SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/736578Huge thanks to Sole, and to John, Emma and Timea for your time and passion.
