In this warm and lively episode of "Dog Friendly," host Brandon Bennett sits down at Grossenbart Brewery in Longmont, CO, with Bre Brutton, a QA specialist in biotech who balances her scientific career with her passions for reading, making art, and, most importantly, spending quality time with her pets. Bre shares her heartfelt journey of adopting two incredible rescue dogs from New Mexico — Kalloa, affectionately called Lou, who’s 16 years old and looks like a Collie but is actually a Belgian Malinois and mutt, and Meco, a 4 or 5-year-old rescue with a big heart.
Bre talks about her support for a rescue organization in New Mexico and her experience fostering to adopt, emphasizing the rewarding, and sometimes challenging, process of giving shelter animals a second chance. Her stories highlight her deep love for her dogs and her active lifestyle — from outdoor adventures to visits to local breweries. She also shares fun memories of her friends dancing at Grossenbart Brewery, tying together community, friendship, and a shared love for pups.
This episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into Bre’s life, showcasing her support for rescue work and her love for her furry friends. Whether you're a dog lover, a rescue advocate, or just enjoy stories of meaningful connections, you’ll find inspiration in Bre’s stories of resilience, community, and companionship. Tune in for a delightful conversation that celebrates the joy of true pet-parenting and the fun of outdoor brewery hopping!

I love the brewery here.
I know the owner and, you know,lots of other things that go on
here.
The last question that I havefor you about both your dogs,
and this is going to be atwo-part question because you
(07:55):
have two dogs.
What...
what, if they could say fivethings, five phrases, you gotta
do with each one, you gotta namethem before you say it, what
would they say?
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
So, Miko's, like, such a silly boy, and he's,
like, so oblivious toeverything, but he's so sweet,
so, like, one thing he wouldprobably say is just, like, Miko
smash, kind of like the Hulk.
SPEAKER_02 (08:18):
Okay, yeah, I like
SPEAKER_01 (08:19):
it, I like it.
Not in a bad way.
No, that's okay.
He, like, stomps around theyard, and Kalua, she's, like,
the old wise one, so she'dprobably say something along the
lines of something Yoda wouldsay, like, do or do not, do not,
SPEAKER_02 (08:30):
Okay, no, no, we need five things each one of
them would say.
Five?
Five.
I thought ten.
Ten phrases would have beenawesome.
So when you look at your dog,right, dogs, and I see them and
I'm like, hey, my dog's Hazel.
She's a little blue heeler.
I was like,
SPEAKER_03 (08:48):
I love you, Dad.
SPEAKER_02 (08:50):
I was going to say, like, number one would be, like,
I love you.
Take me out.
Things like that.
Like, that's what we want.
What would they say?
Like, and you got to go witheach one
SPEAKER_01 (08:58):

I like Mo.
(09:40):

Kalua's the old wise one, like Isaid.

Thanks again for sitting downwith me, Bree, and Gross and
Bart Brewery for hosting us.
It's always good to talk withpeople about dogs and short or
long it doesn't matter we'rejust here to talk about dogs
next week's episodes i sayepisodes in the following weeks
(11:49):
we're gonna have a probably athree-part series we sat down
with mo mutts her name is mo anduh she's from alaska and runs
this great uh dog company sheactually converted a bus to uh
Put her dogs on it.
Safely straps them in.
Goes around Saskatchewan,Alaska.
(12:14):
She trains dogs and also walksdogs.
It's great.
I won't give anything else away.
She's got tons of followers onsocial media.
Great name.
Got some great interviews comingup.
A lot of good excitement here.
We're winding her down on Season3.
(12:35):
We'll be hitting into Season 4with, again, a lot of great,
great conversations.
But to the reviews, I wanted tobring it back around.
I missed a couple weeks becauseI was working on this.
Trixie Strategy Game Turnaround.
This is the little...
(12:56):
canisters that hold food, wherethe dogs push them with their
paw or their nose to flip themaround and let the treats fall
out.
Now, I gave about a month, it'sbeen longer, to try and see if
my dogs would, if I could trainthem to do it.
Blue Heeler, wonderful.
I think she barks at it a littlebit, but if I bring it around
(13:19):
every couple days, she seems toremember, but if it's every day,
she definitely gets it and she'sinto it.
uh the pit bull he is stillstruggling a little bit he barks
at it i've been trying i think ipaid attention more to the blue
healer because i i'll admit thatthe success story was probably
(13:42):
going to be better but she'salso got a little bit more you
know brain power in that levelbut i'm going to bring i'm going
to keep working on it with thedogs and again great product you
know The only thing is that Ithink it's a little small.
The dimensions are 8.7, 7.1 by13.
It's...
(14:07):
If it was a little bit bigger,like a wider stance, I think it
wouldn't be so claustrophobicfor the dog to just tunnel
vision in on.
That's just my opinion.
Again, the Heeler does it.
Very cool.
I think it's a great product fora dog that can focus in on it.
(14:29):
I'm sure there's a lot of smartdogs out there, Border Collies,
other dogs that could figure itout, but Again, I just think
maybe a little bit wider stancewould have made it better.
Giving it a 4 out of 5.
And I'm going to keep comingback and reviewing for it.
It's great.
It's still working great.
I don't know if it would fit inthe dishwasher or not, but I
(14:53):
just hand washed everything.
So thank you.
I just wanted to bring that backaround because I know I've been
slacking on that.
Another...
toy i'm going to start on andthis one i'm just going to work
specifically with the bluehealer i just don't think my
pity has it in them to figurethis out uh but it's called
talking pet starter set it's abunch of buttons uh to play uh
(15:19):
or recordable buttons uh and ithas a guide uh by christina
hunger and it's to get our dogsto communicate uh i'm not sure
the whole level of it but i'mgoing to start doing that this

I come here regularly.
I love the brewery here.
I know the owner and, you know,lots of other things that go on

The last question that I havefor you about both your dogs,
and this is going to be atwo-part question because you
(07:55):
have two dogs.
What...
what, if they could say fivethings, five phrases, you gotta
do with each one, you gotta namethem before you say it, what
would they say?
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
So, Miko's, like, such a silly boy, and he's,
like, so oblivious toeverything, but he's so sweet,
so, like, one thing he wouldprobably say is just, like, Miko
smash, kind of like the Hulk.
SPEAKER_02 (08:18):
Okay, yeah, I like
SPEAKER_01 (08:19):
it, I like it.
Not in a bad way.
No, that's okay.
He, like, stomps around theyard, and Kalua, she's, like,
the old wise one, so she'dprobably say something along the
lines of something Yoda wouldsay, like, do or do not, do not,
SPEAKER_02 (08:30):
Okay, no, no, we need five things each one of
them would say.
Five?
Five.
I thought ten.
Ten phrases would have beenawesome.
So when you look at your dog,right, dogs, and I see them and
I'm like, hey, my dog's Hazel.
She's a little blue heeler.
I was like,
SPEAKER_03 (08:48):
I love you, Dad.
SPEAKER_02 (08:50):
I was going to say, like, number one would be, like,
I love you.
Take me out.

What would they say?
Like, and you got to go witheach one
SPEAKER_01 (08:58):

Their personalities aredifferent, but, like, and it's
mostly, like, talking shit aboutit.

to me today.
Yes.
You know, like, they have thatbanter.

So, probably, they...
You wouldn't believe what Mo didtoday.
I like Mo.
(09:40):

Kalua's the old wise one, like Isaid.

Thanks again for sitting downwith me, Bree, and Gross and
Bart Brewery for hosting us.
It's always good to talk withpeople about dogs and short or
long it doesn't matter we'rejust here to talk about dogs
next week's episodes i sayepisodes in the following weeks
(11:49):
we're gonna have a probably athree-part series we sat down
with mo mutts her name is mo anduh she's from alaska and runs
this great uh dog company sheactually converted a bus to uh
Put her dogs on it.
Safely straps them in.
Goes around Saskatchewan,Alaska.
(12:14):
She trains dogs and also walksdogs.
It's great.
I won't give anything else away.
She's got tons of followers onsocial media.
Great name.
Got some great interviews comingup.
A lot of good excitement here.
We're winding her down on Season3.
(12:35):
We'll be hitting into Season 4with, again, a lot of great,
great conversations.
But to the reviews, I wanted tobring it back around.
I missed a couple weeks becauseI was working on this.
Trixie Strategy Game Turnaround.
This is the little...
(12:56):
canisters that hold food, wherethe dogs push them with their
paw or their nose to flip themaround and let the treats fall
out.
Now, I gave about a month, it'sbeen longer, to try and see if
my dogs would, if I could trainthem to do it.
Blue Heeler, wonderful.
I think she barks at it a littlebit, but if I bring it around
(13:19):
every couple days, she seems toremember, but if it's every day,
she definitely gets it and she'sinto it.
uh the pit bull he is stillstruggling a little bit he barks
at it i've been trying i think ipaid attention more to the blue
healer because i i'll admit thatthe success story was probably
(13:42):
going to be better but she'salso got a little bit more you
know brain power in that levelbut i'm going to bring i'm going
to keep working on it with thedogs and again great product you
know The only thing is that Ithink it's a little small.
The dimensions are 8.7, 7.1 by13.
It's...
(14:07):
If it was a little bit bigger,like a wider stance, I think it
wouldn't be so claustrophobicfor the dog to just tunnel
vision in on.
That's just my opinion.
Again, the Heeler does it.
Very cool.
I think it's a great product fora dog that can focus in on it.
(14:29):
I'm sure there's a lot of smartdogs out there, Border Collies,
other dogs that could figure itout, but Again, I just think
maybe a little bit wider stancewould have made it better.
Giving it a 4 out of 5.
And I'm going to keep comingback and reviewing for it.
It's great.
It's still working great.
I don't know if it would fit inthe dishwasher or not, but I
(14:53):
just hand washed everything.
So thank you.
I just wanted to bring that backaround because I know I've been
slacking on that.
Another...
toy i'm going to start on andthis one i'm just going to work
specifically with the bluehealer i just don't think my
pity has it in them to figurethis out uh but it's called
talking pet starter set it's abunch of buttons uh to play uh
(15:19):
or recordable buttons uh and ithas a guide uh by christina
hunger and it's to get our dogsto communicate uh i'm not sure
the whole level of it but i'mgoing to start doing that this
weekend and i'll give weeklyupdates on what's going on with
