What would make someone take in 25 dogs, work for free, and keep going after being bitten 58 times?
Carlin Lutzer sits down with Sam Burnett, co-owner of Moe Dog Rescue Mission, to explore the gritty realities behind dog rescuing.
From its origins in Cuba to tackling Alberta’s shady breeding practices, Sam shares raw stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a deep belief that there's no such thing as a bad dog — just bad circumstances.
Whether you're a dog owner, animal advocate, or someone curious about what really goes into saving a life, this episode is equal parts eye-opening and inspiring.
