| 06 Aug 2024 | Re-Issue: All Those Who Wander Aren't Lost w/ Elizabeth Lo | 00:19:14 | |
For centuries, stray dogs in Turkey have lived outside amongst their humans. These strays do not have individual guardians, but are rather taken care of by the community. Last week, at the end of July 2024, Turkey’s parliament passed a new law that aims to get the strays off the streets, which would completely change this longstanding cultural relationship. With this re-issue episode, we wanted to bring back a conversation we had with filmmaker Elizabeth Lo about her documentary on stray dogs in Istanbul. Elizabeth Lo is an award-winning nonfiction filmmaker born and raised in Hong Kong and a graduate of the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Her debut feature film, Stray, looks at how strays in Istanbul live and interact with a community who looks out for them.

| 01 Oct 2024 | Special Report: Turkey Stray Dog Dilemma | Pt. 1 | 00:23:15 | |
The Turkish Parliament passed new legislation this summer that aims to remove all stray dogs from the streets by 2028, as these dogs are labeled by the government dangerous and causing harm to humans. This is a significant shift in policy in a country where street dogs have been embedded and accepted into its culture for centuries. Turkish animal welfare groups say in reality there are very few deadly dog attacks, but social media sensationalization and politicization of incidents have complicated debates. While everyone agrees there needs to be better plans to manage the country’s dog overpopulation, there is conflict on how to handle it. Animal advocates argue the 100,000 capacity in current shelters cannot humanely accommodate an estimated four million street dogs, calling the new stray dog legislation the “massacre law.” In the first episode of this two-part series, we explore the unique culture tradition of stray dogs living in Turkey, and discuss the problems and challenges around this new stray dog removal law. We spoke to several guest experts about their perspective on Turkey’s stray dog dilemma with the new law. Guests include Elizabeth Lo (filmmaker), Nazlan Ertan (journalist), Lisanne Hillen (Melez Dog Rescue), and Ahmet Senpolat (HAYTAP, Animal Rights Federation).

Courtney Burns works as the Middle School Director of Guidance, and 7th and 8th grade Counselor, at Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School in Las Vegas. After the school went through a traumatic experience at the time of the One October Las Vegas shooting, as well as other struggles, Courtney worked to bring in Esther - a comfort or therapy dog who has since helped the school, both the students and faculty, get through tough times and into a happier daily flow. And instead of the school owning Esther, she is instead Courtney’s personal dog - which has led them to having a closer connection with an interesting balance between working together and playing together.

Yorkies may be be small dogs, but they can have big impacts. Ivy Higa’s own “Brooklyn aka Mr. Aloha” is prime example. After going through a tough time and breakup, Ivy got Brooklyn – but little did she know how things would change. Through the eyes she looked at him, Ivy began to look inside herself. She realized how she wasn’t treating herself and her value with enough respect, and that the way she felt Brooklyn needed to be treated (with love and respect) was the way she deserved to be treated, too. And if you’re wondering where the “Mr. Aloha” part of his name comes from, that’s because Ivy is originally from Hawaii. Although, as you can guess, now calls Brooklyn home (in more ways than one).

| 09 Jun 2020 | Q&A - How Do I Show Affection To My Dog? | 00:04:51 | |
For this Q&A minisode, John Bartlett talks about the ways that you can show love to your dog that they will understand. Dogs crave appreciation and look to their owners as the leader of the pack. So how you act, and what you may be feeling towards them, can make them feel loved. He talks about specific examples that can work including certain types of touch, talk, play, and the act of being emotionally present. - SOCIAL MEDIA - Website - https://www.dogsavethepeople.com - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople/ - Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavetheppl - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople - FEATURED LINKS - “Dogs Can Understand Human Speech, Scientists Discover” article in The Independent UK - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/dogs-can-understand-human-speech-scientists-say-a7216481.html - “Dogs Can Read Human Emotions” article in Reuters - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-dogs-emotions-idUSKCN0VP1DH - “The Data Says ‘Don’t Hug The Dog!’” article in Psychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/canine-corner/201604/the-data-says-dont-hug-the-dog - Tiny Tim Rescue Fund - http://www.johnbartlettny.com/tiny-tim-rescue-fund - John Bartlett NY website - http://www.johnbartlettny.com John Bartlett NY on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnbartlettny/ - John Bartlett NY on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JohnBartlettNY - John Bartlett NY on Twitter - https://twitter.com/johnbartlettNY | |||

| 29 Sep 2020 | Elevating Focus w/ Winnie Au | 00:14:37 | |
Winnie Au is a photographer based in Brooklyn, NY, who has found a muse in dogs throughout her career. She specializes in creating poignant and playful editorial dog photos. After her own dog, Tartine, received a cancer diagnosis, she pursued a long, traumatic, and expensive treatment plan that ultimately could not save her pet. This experience inspired Winnie to partner with a non-profit for a photo series to raise awareness for those who need financial assistance for medical bills of their dogs. The photo series, Cone of Shame, also flips the negative stigma of dogs wearing cones around their heads and presents them in an artistic, positive, and playful light. The eye-catching photos helped get attention for Animal Haven's Recovery Road Fund, which helps take away the burden of choice based on affordability for your dog’s care. - SOCIAL MEDIA - Website - https://www.dogsavethepeople.com - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople - Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavetheppl - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople - FEATURED LINKS - Winnie Au’s website - https://www.winniewow.com - Winnie Au on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/winniewow - Winnie Au’s dog, Clementine, on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/clemclemthebasset - Winnie Au on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/winnieauphotography - “Cone of Shame” photo series - https://www.winniewow.com/coneofshame - Canine Chronicles book - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coneofshame/canine-chronicles - Animal Haven's Recovery Road Fund - https://animalhaven.org/support | |||
