Oh My Dog! with Jack Dee and Seann Walsh

This week, the brilliant Alex Lowe joins us - and brings one of the most unbelievable dog stories we’ve ever heard.
His rescue dog Millie doesn’t just chase squirrels… she climbs trees. 30 foot ones. We also hear about life at home with Millie, her dog song, and the slightly chaotic reality of working from home with a very needy pup.
Elsewhere, there’s the near-disastrous Juniper and the Toblerone incident, some genuinely useful dog training wins, and Jack delivers a hauntingly accurate rendition of the old Toblerone advert.
Oh, and Sean records the intro from a car in Piccadilly Circus. Obviously.

⚠️ Note: This episode contains discussion of animal testing which may not be suitable for younger listeners.
This week, we’re joined by Animal Rising activists Rose Patterson and Nathan McGovern, who share the story behind the rescue of beagle puppies from MBR Acres in December 2022, and the court cases that followed.
It’s a powerful and emotional conversation about what they witnessed, why they took action, and what happened when they were put on trial.
Plus, Sean’s Good Morning Britain appearance doesn’t quite go to plan, Juniper has an unfortunate run-in with nettles, and Jack samples something he probably shouldn’t…

April is National Pet Month… which means there’s a lot going on.
Seann shares a breakthrough with Mildred’s barking (thank you, Simon!), we debate whether the UK is too dog-friendly (absolutely not), and there’s big news about our brand new Patreon series Off The Lead… 
We also hear from Jordan at Fetcher Dog, who brings a sobering reality check about stray dogs and rescues in the UK - and why the assumption that every dog finds a home simply isn’t reality.
Plus:
🐶 National Pet Month
🐾 Dog-friendly shops, cafes & chaos in Peter Jones
😂 Awkward dog-owner social moments
🏆 Selfies for Cinnamon judging duties
❤️ An incredible dog rescue story turned into art
