Summary
From teaching her rescue dogs to say "I love you" to finding laughter through one of life's hardest journeys, this week's guest is broadcaster, author and Edinburgh Fringe performer Dayna Steele . Dayna joins Jack, Seann and Sara to talk about the incredible dogs who've shaped her life, why she's happy to be the world's favourite dog babysitter, and how her beloved Labrador Lulu became the benchmark for every dog that followed. She also opens up about caring for her mum through Alzheimer's, and explains why humour helped her - and so many others - cope with heartbreak. It's funny, moving and full of unforgettable dog stories. Plus, Seann nearly misses another gig, Mildred is missing the family while they're away, and the team debate whether cycling with a dog on a lead is ever a good idea.
