Season 4 of HTD kicks off with where Liz & Jeff (And their dogs) have been for the past three months. This much needed hiatus from the podcast has helped to reframe Liz’s purpose in life when it comes to improving the world, one dog at a time.

Read MoreThe narratives that we apply to our dogs is a nice way to define their experience. Dogs do not live in the past or the future, they live in the present moment, and the stories we assign to their lives can sometimes hold us back from seeing them as instinctual animals as opposed to emotional beings. Throw away the story and see who they are in the present moment, take it day-by-day.
