There's very few breeds out there left in the world that are bred specifically for work because we have technology that does all the job they did in the past. Dogs noses are much more reliable than any machine out there in the world. Bloodhounds and border collies, even though they're a herder, they're a working dog. And if you don't give them a job, that's where the behavior problems come in.
Your best friend is a hairy beast and that's something to celebrate. This episode is a little different in tone and let's just say GOOD LUCK NOT CRYING, SUCKERS. Alie sits down with "Lucky Dog" host Brandon McMillan, who cares more about saving shelter mutts than he does about the 3 Daytime Emmys he's won for doing it. Learn about his Hollywood drama-worthy backstory that led to being one of the world's most celebrated dog trainers, plus how to calm anxious pups, breeders vs. shelter rescues, and how and why dogs help our brains and save our lives.

Brandon's non-profit to provide service dogs to veterans is called ARGUS. I said Angus; how embarrassing.
