Dog Squad Pups in Training Special will be on CBeebies Sun 12th Nov at 10.20am. Lots of love, hard work and waggy tails went into this ep. I pinch myself sometimes that this is my job. Very lucky to work with such an amazing team and to meet so many incredible dogs. Pup pup POW!

Learned about the “pet effect” this AM at #ACNAP2023:
📌 pet ownership may impact CV health: ⬇️ BP & ⬆️ HRV & overall psychological well-being (although mixed findings)
📌 therapy dogs are 🤩 💗
❓can pets be a strategy to improve CV health? (hope so w/ my 1 🐕, 2 🐈‍⬛, & 5 🐓!)
