Bark Back #24: Cute Puppies, Dog Monuments & Hero Hounds

We take a deep dive into your brilliant messages, photos and videos - including a very spoiled senior staffy, a cockapoo who builds herself a sofa nest every night, and one listener whose dog nickname somehow evolved into simply “Poo”.The gang discuss dog greetings, emotional goodbye routines at the window, tattoos inspired by beloved pets - Sara shares a touching tribute to a cockapoo called Dexter, and whether Jack should get a face tattoo.Become part of our "Off The Lead" Pack on Patreon: patreon.com/omdpodSee Seann live: seannwalsh.comSee Jack at the Palladium: jackdeecomedy.comJoin more than 185,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresEmail us: [email protected] us on IG: @beyondlimits.lifecoach @omdpod @juniperomd @thecampbeagle @animal.rising00:00 Welcome to Bark Back00:30 Ruby the rescued senior staffy thriving at 1302:50 How Dolly, Mildred and Juniper greet visitors04:00 Maisie the “piranha teeth” staffy puppy05:10 Seann remembers Gertrude06:00 Ozzy fails to intimidate a tiny bird (video)07:20 Poppy the cockapoo builds a sofa nest08:50 What the dogs really do when left home alone10:00 The increasingly ridiculous evolution of dog nicknames13:20 Simon’s “Strudel definitely not a poodle”14:20 Dogs with imaginary voices and lisps15:10 Dexter the cockapoo and memorial dog tattoos16:50 Should Jack get a tattoo?19:45 Patreon radiator chat returns#OhMyDogPodcast #BarkBack #JackDee #SeannWalsh #DogPodcast #DogLovers #Staffy #Cockapoo #Dachshund #DogStories #ComedyPodcast #PetParents #DogPeople
