Matt McConkey and Michael Grassi are the pet adoption dream couple. In this episode, you’ll hear one of the best gotcha stories about a dignified senior dog who became the cornerstone for a love story. A beautiful soul whose head smelled like oatmeal cookies inspired communication between two people and united them as family, but she also brought them out of their heads and made them feel cool. From being thirsty for dog kisses to reframing how we think about rescuing senior pets, from seeing your future in a dog’s eyes to the hard reality of saying goodbye, these guests are like a comfy couch you just want to sink right into and listen.
