Tricia Montgomery channeled grief and love into a passion that’s saving lives and giving dog owners the knowledge they need to give their beloved pets the best life possible. Visit the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement at aplb.org to learn more about resources to help with one of life’s most challenging transitions and go to MoosesMarch.com to learn about the Moose approved badges for consumers and how you can partner as a vendor. Perhaps most importantly, you can access education, awareness, and early cancer detection tests for dogs. Tricia also mentions the National Canine Cancer Foundation is a dog charity that strives to eliminate cancer as a major health problem in dogs through education, outreach, and research.

I know we ask a lot from our Dog Words listeners: donate, volunteer, subscribe, share. Today, I’m making a special plea for you to share, not just all the great videos we post of these wonderful dogs, but this specific episode. Whatever podcast platform you’re using, there’s a button that allows you to pass along Tricia’s important message. Everyone needs to hear it. And I have one more favor to ask: share a second episode with that person, not just this one. Browse our archives for an episode that you think they would particularly enjoy. Our guest list includes fiction and non-fiction authors, entrepreneurs, researchers, veterinarians, animal welfare advocates, dear friends, and more. If you enjoy Dog Words, let others know.
