## Resource

Jack and Sara (no Seann, he's ill) are joined by Laura Mohan, the founder of Billy’s Bus - the UK’s first dog bus, inspired by her Cavapoo Billy. What began as a search for better care for her own dog has grown into a fully customised bus giving dogs social adventures, with carefully matched packs, and huge focus on wellbeing. Laura explains how it works, as well as the unexpected impact it’s having on the wider community through volunteering and connection. There’s also a message from Mildred Barrett in Seann's absence, an update on Juniper and Dolly, and all the usual dog chat as they hold the fort while Seann recovers.
