What starts as a conversation about dogs quickly becomes a powerful discussion about service animals, working dogs, temperament testing, and the life-changing impact the right dog can have on children with disabilities.

Tammy and Carli share:

The surprising origin story of Dacus Doodles

How they carefully health-test and temperament-evaluate every puppy

What really makes a service dog different from an emotional support dog

Why proper training and matching matters more than color, gender, or trends

Whether you're a special-needs parent considering a service dog, a dog lover who wants to learn more, or a family searching for support, this episode is full of insight, compassion, and hope.
