    It’s a breath of fresh air to listen to an interview where the dogs with jobs are the star of the show. Kate is a sensitive and knowledgable interviewer who clearer shares a passion for the dogs with their owners. I particularly enjoyed her talking to a boy with Autism where she skilfully allowed him to reveal his relationship with his dog and all it has meant to his life. Who knew there were so many jobs being filled by dogs. Looking forward to future podcasts.
