In this episode, we speak with Michelle Holsinger, the co-founder of Florida-based Mutty Paws Rescue. Michelle tells the inspiring story of Khaleesi, a dog who was neglected, abused and nearly starved to death. Fortunately, Michelle and Mutty Paws rescued Khaleesi when she may have been only hours away from death. Find out how this small rescue organization saved Khaleesi’s life and get an update on her current condition.

What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and found a sick and injured dog inside your house? Well if you are the Jokinen family, you try to solve the mystery of how the dog got in your house, but you also decide to give her the loving home she has never had. Listen to Jack Jokinen tell Suzy’s amazing rescue story, and find out how she has helped hundreds of other dogs find forever homes.

Owning a dog is no joke, but it can be a lot of fun! Just ask Joe Gatto, star of the hit television show “Impractical Jokers.” He is the alpha male of his pack of rescue dogs, the Gatto Pups, and his family champions the "adopt, don't shop" mentality. In this episode, he stops by to tell us about how his pups manage life with the Gatto family (and vice versa).
If you want to learn more about the Gatto pups, Joe has written a book called "The Dogfather: My Love of Dogs, Desserts, and Growing Up Italian." We'll tell you how you can win an autographed hard copy of the book in this episode!
