Unleashed - Episode 87 Adopted, Trained, Loved… Returned: The Truth About Taking a Dog Back
On this episode of Unleashed, Cheryl Kaye meets Brian at the dog park and hears the heartwarming story of Forrest —Brian’s very first dog at age 43—adopted through Magic City Canine, a unique prison-based training program at the Everglades Correctional Institution. Brian shares what it’s really like to finally become a dog dad: the joy, the bonding, the routines, the unexpected responsibilities, and how Forrest has fit into family life with teenagers and a cat at home. Cheryl and Brian talk dog-park dynamics, training, hand signals, ball-thief behavior, leash manners, pool safety, and the surprising ways dogs change your social life and daily rhythm. Then, in a powerful addendum, Cheryl reveals that Forrest was returned—and delivers an emotional, eye-opening message about what “returning” a dog can do to their trust, confidence, and sense of home, reminding listeners that adopting a pet must be a forever commitment.

Unleashed - Episode 86 Struggling for Every Breath: The Crisis Facing Flat-Faced Dogs
In this eye-opening episode of Unleashed with Cheryl Kaye, we examine how breeding dogs for extreme physical appearances has crossed a dangerous line—leaving many beloved breeds struggling simply to breathe. Joined by PETA’s Jakob Shaw, manager of strategic initiatives, the conversation exposes the hidden suffering behind flat-faced “designer” dogs like French and English bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers. Shaw explains why panting, snorting, and wheezing are not “cute,” but signs of serious distress caused by distorted airways, chronic pain, heat intolerance, and dramatically shortened lifespans. Together, they explore why aesthetic preferences continue to trump animal welfare, what health risks breathing-impaired dogs face daily, and how guardians of these dogs can reduce suffering. The episode also highlights the broader solution—ending the breeding and sale of these dogs and embracing adoption—to ensure a healthier, more humane future for dogs of every shape and size.
