Today we explore the sacred bond between humans and animals with Kathy Callahan (puppy expert) and Helen St. Pierre (founder of Old Dogs Go To Helen sanctuary). We discuss how senior dogs teach us about hospice, grief, and spiritual connection—plus why puppies bring healing energy during loss. Learn how animals raise our vibration, recognize signs from departed pets, and create "good deaths" with love. If you’ve ever felt your dog’s soul speaking to yours, this episode is for you.
