Canine Blockbusters with Alexis Devine and Teresa J Rhyne at Bark! Fest
Leave us a voicemail! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2183505/fa...)
Celebrate the dog-human bond with these bestselling authors. Social media stars Alexis Devine and her dog Bunny examine our ability to communicate with dogs through buttons that let them “talk” in I Am Bunny. And in Poppy in the Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author Teresa J Rhyne tells the breathtaking tale of a dog lost and then found in the wilderness.
We talked about:
• Why Alexis decided to start using buttons to teach Bunny to 'talk'
• How Alexis went about the research for the sections on animal communication
• Cute stories about some of the specific buttons that Bunny uses
• How Poppy came into Teresa's life
• The Thanksgiving that for many people would be a dog lovers' dream
• What it felt like to search for Poppy in the wilderness
• Plus readings from both authors, and more!

As you'll hear me say in the audio, Kerry Nichols was unfortunately unable to join us for this session due to a puppy situation. I'm happy to say it all turned out well for the puppies. In her national bestseller, Puppy Brain, you can learn the best ways to raise a puppy so that they become happy and resilient.
