January 25 marks the 10 year anniversary of Rosie Fund. We're looking forward to another year of sponsoring and promoting senior and harder-to-adopt dogs. Our goal is to continue to expand our reach and work with more shelters and rescue groups. Your support is what makes all this possible! To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we'll be kicking off a 10 for 10 fundraiser. You can donate through RosieFund.org, Venmo, Facebook and Instagram.
Last year was our all-time high as we filmed, promoted, and sponsored 79 dogs at KC Pet Project, Always & Furever, Mid-America Bully Breed Rescue, PAWS KC, and Pawsitive Tails
Since our founding in 2016, Rosie Fund has sponsored 355 dogs and filmed and promoted 599 dogs. Thanks to you and our volunteers, almost $32,000 of donations have provided Rosie Life Starter Kits, helped with adoption fees, and covered medical expenses for dogs that found their forever home.

Michael Hingson and his guide dog Roselle were on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center’s north tower on 9/11. He shares that story in the New York Times bestseller Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero. On this episode, we discuss that book and the tragedy and heroism of that day along with his latest book, Live Like A Guide Dog: True Stories from a Blind Man and His Dogs about Being Brave, Overcoming Adversity, and Moving Forward in Faith.
Micheal is available to speak on his 9/11 experience but also on perseverance, the importance of teamwork and trust, moving from diversity to inclusion, and offering adaptive technology training. He hosts The Unstoppable Mindset Podcast: where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet.

Tricia Montgomery channeled grief and love into a passion that’s saving lives and giving dog owners the knowledge they need to give their beloved pets the best life possible. Visit the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement at aplb.org to learn more about resources to help with one of life’s most challenging transitions and go to MoosesMarch.com to learn about the Moose approved badges for consumers and how you can partner as a vendor. Perhaps most importantly, you can access education, awareness, and early cancer detection tests for dogs. Tricia also mentions the National Canine Cancer Foundation is a dog charity that strives to eliminate cancer as a major health problem in dogs through education, outreach, and research. Learn more at WeAreTheCure.org.
I know we ask a lot from our Dog Words listeners: donate, volunteer, subscribe, share. Today, I’m making a special plea for you to share, not just all the great videos we post of these wonderful dogs, but this specific episode. Whatever podcast platform you’re using, there’s a button that allows you to pass along Tricia’s important message. Everyone needs to hear it. And I have one more favor to ask: share a second episode with that person, not just this one. Browse our archives for an episode that you think they would particularly enjoy. Our guest list includes fiction and non-fiction authors, entrepreneurs, researchers, veterinarians, animal welfare advocates, dear friends, and more. If you enjoy Dog Words, let others know.

We’re excited to announce that Kona—the sweet and beautiful foster dog from Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary—won the international round of the 2025 Pooch Playoffs. To learn more about Kona or to adopt, visit AlwaysAndFurever.org.
Everyone is invited to join us for a celebration of this year’s Pooch Playoffs at Bar K on Kansas City’s river front on Sunday, April 13 at 2 pm. If this is your first visit to Bar K, speed up your entry by completing the Guest Entry form under the Plan Your Visit tab at BarKDogBar.com. All human guests have free entry to Bar K. Without a membership, your first dog costs $16 on weekends and each additional dog is $5. If you don’t think your dog would enjoy the dog park environment, please come without them and enjoy food, beverages, and the infectious energy of dogs at play.
We’ll hand out prizes to our Final Four pups and crown the champion. Phillip won but graciously abdicated his crown for Kona to represent our region, a wonderful example of saving each other. Melissa and Jon Hill, Phillip’s adopters, shared his story on Dog Words last year.

Any time is a great time to donate to Rosie Fund but the best time might be between October 15 and October 22. We’re excited to announce our first annual Michael & Kurz Match for Rosie Fund that doubles your donation!
Michael was an advocate for all animals; but he had an especially deep appreciation and love for dogs. He enjoyed volunteering at the shelter and interacting with all the dogs. That’s where he met and adopted his buddy, Kurz. He developed a special bond with Kurz and fondly referred to him as his Bagelhound: a Beagle Basset Hound mix. Now, in memory of Michael and Kurz, the Kackley family will MATCH donations to Rosie Fund up to $2500. Raising $5000 means 50 more shelter dogs receive promotion from our foundation and a Rosie Life Starter Kit!
Claire Shelley with Bigfoot Pet Photography is sweetening the deal for those who donate during the Michael & Kurz Match for Rosie Fund. Donations of $50-$99 will receive $100 credit toward artwork of their pet’s photo session. $100-$199 donations receive $250 credit and $200 or more receive $500 credit.

PLEASE NOTE: Google has moved its podcast service to YouTube. Podcasts can be migrated to YouTube but we will not be doing that with Dog Words for two reasons. First, if we need to make edits to an episode or update a description, we do that once with our Buzzsprout hosting and the change goes out to all podcast services except YouTube. Unfortunately, that creates extra work for podcasters. Second, YouTube does not provide any download stats to Buzzsprout. We like to know how many downloads we are getting and where are listeners are. Rather than take on the burden of managing a YouTube podcast feed separate from all the other services, we ask that you use one that is listed on our website.

0214: Pet Hospice with Dr. Shea Cox
Pet hospice is so much more than facing the final days of a treasured relationship. It’s an opportunity and an obligation to make the best choices for a beloved pet long before that time comes.
0304: Author Sarah Chauncey
P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna is a thoughtful and helpful gift for anyone dealing with the loss of an animal they love or even in anticipation of that event if it is an ill or aging pet. It’s more than a greeting card but not as in depth and comprehensive as Anne Marie’s book. They make a nice complement to each other.

Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other tells the story of Fred the Afghan’s miraculous journey from a war zone to living his best life in America.

0419: Canine Nutrition with Daniel Schulof
The Morris Animal Foundation is discussed in this episode. While they have helped fund research that greatly benefits the health of animals, their research on pet nutrition can be called into question. We were not aware of the conflict of interest raised by Daniel Schulof when we interviewed Dr. Kelly Diehl in 2021. While we are grateful for the beneficial work they have done in many areas of animal research, we implore the Morris Animal Foundation to objectively study the impact of meat-based protein versus plant-derived carbohydrates in pet food.

Dr. Shea Cox explains how pet hospice is so much more than facing the final days of a treasured relationship. It’s an opportunity and an obligation to make the best choices for a beloved pet long before that time comes.
Blue Pearl Pet Hospice provides senior care, pain management, hospice care and end-of-life services for your pet with in-person and virtual services available. Free access to their LearnPetHospice.com includes video modules on understanding quality of life, recognizing pain in dogs, recognizing pain in cats, and nationwide telehealth consults.
The In-home Pet Euthanasia Directory connects families to local providers who specialize in pet end-of-life care needs. Services offered will vary by provider, but can include hospice, palliative care, pain management, acupuncture & alternative medicine and euthanasia.
Dog Words guest Jesse Shroyer shared the touching story of her experience with hospice foster Huck on episode 0102.
