Bark Back #17: Would You Adopt a Dog With Your Name?

Would you adopt a dog… with your own name? This week on Bark Back, we hear more about the very real (and very adoptable) Seann Walsh at The Rescue Hotel - and it raises some big questions. Plus, your emails take us from Johannesburg to Western Australia, with stories of runaway dogs, motorbike chases and the songs we sing to them. There’s also an important reminder about what dogs pick up on walks, after a heartbreaking story about secondary poisoning - and why it’s something every owner should be aware of. And Jack ponders why friends named their dog “Jack”, Seann reveals the lamp he's owned that's never had a bulb, and a listener makes a strong case for Sara finally getting on the billboard.
