Speaker 1 (00:00):
Look on social media to see as much as we
can of the Charlie Kirk funeral. It's just an unbelievable crowd.
And I wonder. I wonder if he really felt that
he would have that much of an impact. You know,
he impacted people's lives and he knew that, but to
this magnitude. You think he'd realized that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Boots, No, I did, and I didn't. I think, if anything,
I hope it brings everybody back together. That's what I'm
hoping for. I'm hoping that they should. You can see
how peaceful things can be without burning cities down and
being silly.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And how peaceful things need to be. We need to
be united, pease really really do? We're united here, that's
for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We're at Kaufman Park at the Dublin Pet Festival. And
I mean to tell you what. Boots and I are
embarrassed because we've never been here before.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I am. I feel bad, Doctor G.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You've been doing this for how many years, this Dublin Petfest.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
This is a thirteenth year for the Dublin Pet Fair
and it's fourteen years because we have to.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Skip a year for COVID thirteen. So what made you
think of this?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Well, I actually didn't start it. Very nice lady names
List and will Is. She was the one that created
this about fourteen fifteen years ago, and it started as
just a handful of tables, and little by little it
just kept growing until it's too much for one person
to handle. So she came to me, since we have
very similar missions and values, and asked if Rascal Charities
would take over the Dolan Pet Fair. So we've been
(01:18):
running it for the last three years.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay, earlier, earlier. I want to ask you. A friend
of mine argues with you on the spade neuter.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh yay.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So if we spade and neuter all the animals where
we're going to get our puppies. I went good luck
on that. So give me the stat on how many
animals we'd have to spade neoter to make it all right?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I mean they get complete.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Unfortunately, I don't know that we can get to.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That point exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We'd love to have that problem.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, oh, I don't want them all most modes.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Doctor g introduce who your buddy is right here?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yes, this is Mark Finneran and he's ohire, the director
for Humane World for Animals that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Humane World for animals, that's exactly right, all right. I
love the name already. I love it. But tell everybody
what it's all about, how you've been around, how long,
and what you really do.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
So human world for animals.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
We work on public policy to make sure our laws
protect animals, both here in the United States and across
the country.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So I'm the Ohio State Director.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I work with our state legislators down at the state
House all the time. One of the newest bills that
has just introduced is Senate Bill two sixty five, which
would end cat dclaw unless it's medically necessary. And doctor
g I know that's an issue. I'm sure you have
cat owners who come to you all the time asking
for a declaw.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, And you know, we educate people, and a lot
of people don't understand what it's about, that it's completely
amputating a toe and that it cosses lifetime problems for
these cats.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
People are still getting their cat's declawed.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Some people are less and less, thankfully, but it's still
something that is legally allowed to be done.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think you guys are right though, because when we
were growing up, this was years and years and years ago.
We had a kit and they mitt't we grew into
a cat, but we did what everybody else did. You
got her to claw, she was going to be inside cat,
and I remember they wrapped these little bandages over her.
Pause because it's just the front two. But and then
you older and you realize what you did. I mean
(03:02):
as a little kid, he just did what your family did,
your parents did, And then you realize, how could we
have done that to a cat? But that was the
trend back then. Yes, I didn't think people were still
declawing anymore.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It's a huge thing. And the same thing with me
growing up. Everyone's cat's for the class. Yeah, you start
to realize just not worth it. And there's also so
many other ways. If you're worried about your cat scratching furniture,
you can use double sided tape, you can get them
scratching posts.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So many ways to mitigate those issues. And is it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Painful for them? It is even afterwards did they ever
get used to it?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It's something it eliminates a lot of their ability to
express normal behavior. Right, so it does hurt, it causes
arthritis to their feet, But then also it doesn't allow
them to express themselves properly. So you get cat that
maybe would have scratched something that now is going to
bite because it doesn't know how to communicate.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So you don't think pawing a cat's good boy.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, listening to the whole conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Guy took someone found a phone. I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh you're trying to help the Well, no, that's what
we were talking about. Back in the day when we
were growing up, we all our family declalled the cats.
It was, but now it's not a good thing at all,
and they extremely painful. And then what if they get
in a fight right, well.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And we didn't have to, We just didn't know any better.
It's kind of the we as humans. We just look
for kind of what's the easiest way. So instead of
trimming our cat's nails and letting them scratch and a
scratching post, we just take their cloths out and not
worry about it. And you know, I have four cats,
none of them are declawed, and none of my furniture
is trash. So yeah, because I know I can read
right like what they need, and I have cat trees
(04:35):
all over the house, I have scratching posts all over
the place, so they never have any issues. There's two
of them that I never trimmed their nails, so it
is possible.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So that would be a great law for the state
of Ohio. Let me ask you something else. It seems
like anytime someone wants to get a bill passed or
action in the legislature when it comes to animal cruelty
or animals in general, it takes forever. Why.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Well, we can be a slow moving state for any
topic with public policy. And sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's
very frustrating.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Right.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
One of the things I love about animal welfare though,
is it does bring people together of all ideological backgrounds,
and it's one of the few issues I think people
are working on today where everyone can feel good about it.
So I think there's a lot of opportunity there, but
you got to be patient.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, we're going to take a quick break because I
want to move the equipment because just in.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Case, just in case it starts to rain.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don't go away, guys, but still.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Come out to the Coffin Park in Dublin for the
Dublin Pet Fair because if it rains, it'll just be
for a little bit and then there's still plenty of activities.
It'll cool you down.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes, So it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
This is raw minion boots always brought to by the
endefeed of the American made Tattletale arm system from the Heartland
Bank Studios on News Radio six to ten WTVN.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So hot, Jennifer wrenched. Jennifer, don't walk away. So we
asked before right, and we were on commercial break. We
you know, we're talking to the crowd and saying if
anyone wants to come up and be live on the air,
if you're not shy, come on up. So this awesome
woman comes up and says, Mendy, I remember you from
your TV days in Youngstown. I'm like wow, I'm like,
(06:07):
what's your name? She's like Jennifer. Like, Jennifer, you want
to be on the radio. So Jennifer grabbing that microphone
and I'm like, why are you here, Jennifer.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Well, I look forward to the Dublin Pet Festival every year.
It's a lot of fun, a lot of great people here,
a lot of great causes.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I look forward to it each year.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
She has a cool dog.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, describe your dog?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Hot dog is I'm still lost.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
She is a two year old Dutch shepherd.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I bet she's fast. Are you going to register her
in the pet races?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I didn't know about it. I'm gonna have to go
over there now, thanks Mendy.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh my gosh, you have to because you win stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Boots, I think so, then tell me.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But I know they're giving they're giving away a fifty
Top three dogs get a fifty dollars from pet Palace
and a medal and a medal. You'll knock your kids
metals out of the way for the dog.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what we can do too, can't We give
them roosters.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Bucks for the time with me, and we're printing them
right now. So thanks for roll me up on that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
One, so, Jennifer. Isn't it heartwarming though, when you look
out here and you see so many people who truly
love their pets, because you know, in the news there's
so many cases of animal cruelty, animal neglect, people who
don't treat their dogs like this. And the unfortunate thing
is dogs don't get to choose who their owners are.
We choose them, and it's the luck of the draw.
Your dog is extremely lucky to have you. All these
(07:21):
people are, But it isn't that way all the time.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
No, it's not. And a lot of what they do
here is also education. But we're among people. We all
have the same mindset. Dogs are a family, and we
just want to be able to take that into the
community and so that maybe others can see. This is
how dogs are treated in this day and age.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Now, absolutely, why do you treat an animal bad?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
They're family, They become family.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
My poodles every night she's at my feet sleeping, and
a minute I start snoring. Evidently she comes up and
puts her head right on my shoulder and I wake
up with my left shoulder sound asleep with her, and
I wake up with a dead arm. But you know what,
I'll sacrifice so she sleeps good, not insane.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And the whole thing is dogs would do the exact
same thing for you. They love us unconditionally so much.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do I always say, Boots, which time.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Dog is God spelled forward? And it's I mean that
from the bottom of my heart. So, Jennifer, you were
living in Youngstown for how long?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yes, I am from Youngstown.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
I came here in eighty six to go to Ohio
State and I haven't been back there to live, just
to visit.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
An W is gone. You know he tore the ANW
down in Boardman.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, she looks shocked right now.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
She's like, the is the hot dog place still there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I don't think it is. But we go there to
the Nationals every year. It was the best trip for
car guys. And we scop there every year to the fairgrounds.
And I love Youngstown, but you know it's part of Youngstown.
You've bettery be careful, but mostly Youngstown's nice.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
My parents moved from Poland to right by the fair grounds.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
They say Youngstown, white town is my town. This is
going on free, the going go to pet That's why
I met Jim Trussell was when he was coaching at Youngstown.
So this is going on for free until five o'clock
to night. Jennifer, what's the one thing you would say
to get people to come out here? And what's the
coolest booth that you visited so far today?
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, the coolest booth I've been to is professional Canine.
I was not in the right equipment for my dog.
I thought it was correct because it came from her breeder.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But what is professional Canine's It's over.
Speaker 7 (09:28):

HUE i read a story On Spectrum news last. Week
let me see if you guys believe this and if
you guys listening kind of curious about your opinion or
two or. Not they say research has now shown that
dogs pick up on the personalities oh yeahacters of their
humans and act like. Them so if you're, shy your
(15:29):
dog's going to start being. Shy if you're really out
going and want to go and talk to people all the.
Time the dog's going to associate that with their own.
Personality do you guys agree with?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
That let me tell you a quick story my.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
DOG i had a Little Jack russell and my next
door neighbor that moved in was a total creep and
he used to smack his wife around little, BIT i
believe because the cops are there all the. Time and
one day he was out in the driveway and Little
parker his hair stood up on his neck and he
was looked, Like, Kujo i'm, like where in the heck
do come? From he, goes dogs don't like? Me, well
guess what as yours went? By AND i really know
(16:01):
what an idiot he. Was NOW i know why that
dog never did anybody but.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Him, WELL i believe there's a sixth. CeNSE dogs can.
Tell dogs can tell if you're a good, person if
you're not a good. PERSON i really do believe.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That maybe they spell each other's butt because they're used
to picking out the a.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Holes, well they've Say they've also said, this if you
are single and you have a dog and you bring
someone over and that dog does not like that, person
don't date that. Person good, point like they they there's
something about that six cent that they're trying to tell
you not the right choice for. You you're thinking about.
That why do you have a lot of dogs growl at?

running it for the last three years.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay, earlier, earlier. I want to ask you. A friend
of mine argues with you on the spade neuter.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh yay.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So if we spade and neuter all the animals where
we're going to get our puppies. I went good luck
on that. So give me the stat on how many
animals we'd have to spade neoter to make it all right?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I mean they get complete.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Unfortunately, I don't know that we can get to.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That point exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We'd love to have that problem.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, oh, I don't want them all most modes.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Doctor g introduce who your buddy is right here?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yes, this is Mark Finneran and he's ohire, the director
for Humane World for Animals that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Humane World for animals, that's exactly right, all right. I
love the name already. I love it. But tell everybody
what it's all about, how you've been around, how long,
and what you really do.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
So human world for animals.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
We work on public policy to make sure our laws
protect animals, both here in the United States and across
the country.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So I'm the Ohio State Director.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I work with our state legislators down at the state
House all the time. One of the newest bills that
has just introduced is Senate Bill two sixty five, which
would end cat dclaw unless it's medically necessary. And doctor
g I know that's an issue. I'm sure you have
cat owners who come to you all the time asking
for a declaw.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, And you know, we educate people, and a lot
of people don't understand what it's about, that it's completely
amputating a toe and that it cosses lifetime problems for
these cats.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
People are still getting their cat's declawed.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Some people are less and less, thankfully, but it's still
something that is legally allowed to be done.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think you guys are right though, because when we
were growing up, this was years and years and years ago.
We had a kit and they mitt't we grew into
a cat, but we did what everybody else did. You
got her to claw, she was going to be inside cat,
and I remember they wrapped these little bandages over her.
Pause because it's just the front two. But and then
you older and you realize what you did. I mean
(03:02):
as a little kid, he just did what your family did,
your parents did, And then you realize, how could we
have done that to a cat? But that was the
trend back then. Yes, I didn't think people were still
declawing anymore.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It's a huge thing. And the same thing with me
growing up. Everyone's cat's for the class. Yeah, you start
to realize just not worth it. And there's also so
many other ways. If you're worried about your cat scratching furniture,
you can use double sided tape, you can get them
scratching posts.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So many ways to mitigate those issues. And is it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Painful for them? It is even afterwards did they ever
get used to it?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It's something it eliminates a lot of their ability to
express normal behavior. Right, so it does hurt, it causes
arthritis to their feet, But then also it doesn't allow
them to express themselves properly. So you get cat that
maybe would have scratched something that now is going to
bite because it doesn't know how to communicate.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So you don't think pawing a cat's good boy.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, listening to the whole conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Guy took someone found a phone. I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh you're trying to help the Well, no, that's what
we were talking about. Back in the day when we
were growing up, we all our family declalled the cats.
It was, but now it's not a good thing at all,
and they extremely painful. And then what if they get
in a fight right, well.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And we didn't have to, We just didn't know any better.
It's kind of the we as humans. We just look
for kind of what's the easiest way. So instead of
trimming our cat's nails and letting them scratch and a
scratching post, we just take their cloths out and not
worry about it. And you know, I have four cats,
none of them are declawed, and none of my furniture
is trash. So yeah, because I know I can read
right like what they need, and I have cat trees
(04:35):
all over the house, I have scratching posts all over
the place, so they never have any issues. There's two
of them that I never trimmed their nails, so it
is possible.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So that would be a great law for the state
of Ohio. Let me ask you something else. It seems
like anytime someone wants to get a bill passed or
action in the legislature when it comes to animal cruelty
or animals in general, it takes forever. Why.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Well, we can be a slow moving state for any
topic with public policy. And sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's
very frustrating.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Right.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
One of the things I love about animal welfare though,
is it does bring people together of all ideological backgrounds,
and it's one of the few issues I think people
are working on today where everyone can feel good about it.
So I think there's a lot of opportunity there, but
you got to be patient.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, we're going to take a quick break because I
want to move the equipment because just in.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Case, just in case it starts to rain.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don't go away, guys, but still.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Come out to the Coffin Park in Dublin for the
Dublin Pet Fair because if it rains, it'll just be
for a little bit and then there's still plenty of activities.
It'll cool you down.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes, So it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
This is raw minion boots always brought to by the
endefeed of the American made Tattletale arm system from the Heartland
Bank Studios on News Radio six to ten WTVN.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So hot, Jennifer wrenched. Jennifer, don't walk away. So we
asked before right, and we were on commercial break. We
you know, we're talking to the crowd and saying if
anyone wants to come up and be live on the air,
if you're not shy, come on up. So this awesome
woman comes up and says, Mendy, I remember you from
your TV days in Youngstown. I'm like wow, I'm like,
(06:07):
what's your name? She's like Jennifer. Like, Jennifer, you want
to be on the radio. So Jennifer grabbing that microphone
and I'm like, why are you here, Jennifer.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Well, I look forward to the Dublin Pet Festival every year.
It's a lot of fun, a lot of great people here,
a lot of great causes.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I look forward to it each year.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
She has a cool dog.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, describe your dog?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Hot dog is I'm still lost.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
She is a two year old Dutch shepherd.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I bet she's fast. Are you going to register her
in the pet races?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I didn't know about it. I'm gonna have to go
over there now, thanks Mendy.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh my gosh, you have to because you win stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Boots, I think so, then tell me.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But I know they're giving they're giving away a fifty
Top three dogs get a fifty dollars from pet Palace
and a medal and a medal. You'll knock your kids
metals out of the way for the dog.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what we can do too, can't We give
them roosters.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Bucks for the time with me, and we're printing them
right now. So thanks for roll me up on that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
One, so, Jennifer. Isn't it heartwarming though, when you look
out here and you see so many people who truly
love their pets, because you know, in the news there's
so many cases of animal cruelty, animal neglect, people who
don't treat their dogs like this. And the unfortunate thing
is dogs don't get to choose who their owners are.
We choose them, and it's the luck of the draw.
Your dog is extremely lucky to have you. All these
(07:21):
people are, But it isn't that way all the time.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
No, it's not. And a lot of what they do
here is also education. But we're among people. We all
have the same mindset. Dogs are a family, and we
just want to be able to take that into the
community and so that maybe others can see. This is
how dogs are treated in this day and age.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Now, absolutely, why do you treat an animal bad?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
They're family, They become family.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
My poodles every night she's at my feet sleeping, and
a minute I start snoring. Evidently she comes up and
puts her head right on my shoulder and I wake
up with my left shoulder sound asleep with her, and
I wake up with a dead arm. But you know what,
I'll sacrifice so she sleeps good, not insane.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And the whole thing is dogs would do the exact
same thing for you. They love us unconditionally so much.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do I always say, Boots, which time.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Dog is God spelled forward? And it's I mean that
from the bottom of my heart. So, Jennifer, you were
living in Youngstown for how long?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yes, I am from Youngstown.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
I came here in eighty six to go to Ohio
State and I haven't been back there to live, just
to visit.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
An W is gone. You know he tore the ANW
down in Boardman.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, she looks shocked right now.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
She's like, the is the hot dog place still there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I don't think it is. But we go there to
the Nationals every year. It was the best trip for
car guys. And we scop there every year to the fairgrounds.
And I love Youngstown, but you know it's part of Youngstown.
You've bettery be careful, but mostly Youngstown's nice.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
My parents moved from Poland to right by the fair grounds.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
They say Youngstown, white town is my town. This is
going on free, the going go to pet That's why
I met Jim Trussell was when he was coaching at Youngstown.
So this is going on for free until five o'clock
to night. Jennifer, what's the one thing you would say
to get people to come out here? And what's the
coolest booth that you visited so far today?
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, the coolest booth I've been to is professional Canine.
I was not in the right equipment for my dog.
I thought it was correct because it came from her breeder.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But what is professional Canine's It's over.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
There by Rascal Unit, which is amazing. My dog has
been there many times for their mobile clinics and they
got her in a new lesion collar.

HUE i read a story On Spectrum news last. Week
let me see if you guys believe this and if
you guys listening kind of curious about your opinion or
two or. Not they say research has now shown that
dogs pick up on the personalities oh yeahacters of their
humans and act like. Them so if you're, shy your
(15:29):
dog's going to start being. Shy if you're really out
going and want to go and talk to people all the.
Time the dog's going to associate that with their own.
Personality do you guys agree with?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
That let me tell you a quick story my.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
DOG i had a Little Jack russell and my next

Him, WELL i believe there's a sixth. CeNSE dogs can.
Tell dogs can tell if you're a good, person if
you're not a good. PERSON i really do believe.

to picking out the a.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Holes, well they've Say they've also said, this if you
are single and you have a dog and you bring
someone over and that dog does not like that, person
don't date that. Person good, point like they they there's
something about that six cent that they're trying to tell
you not the right choice for. You you're thinking about.
