Curious about how a blind golden retriever can change lives? Join us me, Julie Marty-Pearson, as I talk with Joanne George, who shares her incredible journey from being a veterinary technician to a passionate animal advocate and dog trainer. Discover the heartwarming story of Smiley, a golden retriever born without eyes, and how he overcame his challenges to become an inspirational therapy dog. Joanne recounts the early days of animal rescue before social media brought widespread awareness and sheds light on how attitudes towards disabled pets have shifted over time.
But the journey doesn't stop there. We'll also dive into the transformative benefits of CBD for both pets and humans. Joanne discusses her experiences with CBD, highlighting its impact on anxiety, stress, and overall well-being. From helping a blind dog named Sunny manage severe anxiety to improving the quality of life for an older dog suffering from dementia and arthritis, CBD has proven to be a game-changer. Tune in to learn more about the importance of quality in CBD products and hear inspiring success stories that demonstrate the power of compassionate care and innovative solutions.
