How dogs make our lives better.
New episodes posted every other Tuesday!
What is it about our loyal canine pals that keep us connected?
Fashion Designer and animal advocate John Bartlett finds out as the host of the podcast interview series called Dog Save The People.
The simple idea behind the show is how the selfless act of caring for a dog transforms who we are as people.
This responsibility often awakens in us a greater understanding that all people, all creatures, are connected as one.
It helps us learn to love ourselves, connect with one another, and treat all living beings with empathy and respect.

DOG WALK MEDITATION
A spinoff series from Dog Save The People to calm your mind and connect with your dog.
This visualization meditation is designed to release tension throughout the body while on a dog walk, or sitting with a dog next to you. This guided body scan will slowly, from head to toe, recognize where you may be holding stress and imagine releasing tightness with each exhale. By allowing the body to decompress mindfully, you will be left feeling grounded and centered. When we are calm and stress-free, our dogs tend to reflect back a similar demeanor.
This visualization meditation is designed to bring you closer to the natural world that surrounds you, wherever you are. This practice will also help you to connect and reflect on your relationship with your dog in a deeply spiritual way. Afterward, you may feel the pure love from your mutual bond and immense gratitude for having a dog in your life.
This walking meditation is designed to help you gain a stronger appreciation for your dog and the natural world on your walks together. It will also direct you to notice a dog’s exuberance, and this happiness may extend into our hearts and minds. The reward from this meditation will be a feeling of joy that allows you to be more present with others in daily routines, bringing an increased sense of gratitude and fullness to life.
