Shownotes Transcript

March 23 is National Puppy Day, which makes it a great time to talk about how and why we celebrate puppies. But before talking about how and why we celebrate that event, host Brittany Derrenbacher sits down with Paula Felps to dive into some new research on petting your dogs that just might change the way you leave the house. Then, Brittany explains what your dog might be thinking while you’re gone.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How petting your dog before you leave the house helps ease their anxiety.

  • The physical and emotional benefits humans receive by petting dogs.

  • The origins of National Puppy Day and how to celebrate it.
