Today’s episode is one that will touch your heart and open your eyes to the resilience of the canine spirit. I’m joined by the remarkable Lisa Mattuchio, the devoted human behind Eddie on Wheels—a national sensation who captured the world’s attention, not with pity, but with joy, determination, and a set of wheels.

Eddie, a senior dog with mobility challenges, rolled into people’s lives through Lisa’s uplifting videos—reminding us all that a dog doesn’t need four working legs to live fully and love unconditionally. Eddie’s spark lit a fire that continues to burn in his honour. After his passing, Lisa founded Eddie’s Ranch—a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and loving senior and disabled dogs, giving them the care and dignity they deserve.

This is a story of devotion, legacy, and second chances. Lisa’s journey with Eddie—and the impact it continues to have—is nothing short of extraordinary.

John Fabino, better known to his thousands of followers as Wags Around the World, is a globe-trotting dog photographer whose work captures the spirit, soul, and stories of dogs from every corner of the planet. From rescue pups in remote villages to pampered pooches in big cities, John’s photos are more than just beautiful—they’re emotional portraits of devotion, resilience, and love.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what it’s like to travel the world one dog at a time, the unforgettable moments behind the camera, and how dogs—no matter where they’re from—can speak a universal language of love.

Sometimes, life puts a soul in your path who changes everything. For Jess and Jake Robinson, that soul was Kia—a trembling, neglected dog they found in a heartbreaking state. Her eyes were full of fear, her body scarred by a past no one could fully explain.

But what Jess and Jake saw wasn’t just pain—they saw possibility. Love. A spark that deserved a second chance.

What followed was a two-year battle through red tape, legal hurdles, and uncertainty. They could have walked away. But they didn’t.

This is the story of how one couple refused to give up on a dog the world had forgotten—and how, in the end, Kia found not just a home, but a family. This story is in honour of National Dog Rescue Day which was on Tuesday May 20th.

In this episode, we welcome Tom Turcich—an extraordinary soul who spent seven years walking across six continents and through thirty-eight countries. But he didn’t do it alone. Along the way, Tom met a special companion—a stray pup he adopted during his journey and named Savannah, after the place where their paths first crossed. What began as a personal quest for meaning after the loss of a dear friend became something much deeper—a journey of healing, discovery, and the profound bond between a man and his dog. This is not just a story of endurance—it’s a story of love, loyalty, and the quiet, powerful ways a dog can walk us home.

In this deeply moving episode of A Dog’s Devotion, I sit down with Brandon Trentham — NYC and Hamptons real estate expert, and proud rescue dog dad.

Brandon opens up about the heartbreak of losing his beloved Lola, who passed away a year ago at Christmas. She was his everything — his shadow, his sidekick, his heart. The grief was overwhelming, and for a long time, Brandon didn’t think he could open himself up to that kind of love again.

But love found its way back in, through the eyes of a rescue dog named Cooper.

Now, Brandon is rediscovering joy, purpose, and companionship — one paw print at a time. From early morning runs to quiet moments of connection, he and Cooper are building a bond that’s healing old wounds and creating new memories.

This is a story of loss, resilience, and the unshakable love our dogs give us. And how, when we’re finally ready, they send us someone new to love — just when we need it most.
