We’re joined by Tyler Whitnall, a passionate conservationist who presents TV series One Zoo Three and is a zookeeper at Hertfordshire Zoo where he grew up alongside his two brothers, we chat about the history of this family run Hertfordshire based Zoo, and its sister Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent. Discussing the challenges of keeping the animals cool in a heatwave and how Ocado donates ‘wonky’ fruit and vegetables or dented cans to the Zoo. Thanks to Ocado’s food ‘bank’ donation, the Zoo saves over £30,000.00 a year on food bills , so far allowing over £400K to be channelled into conservation and welfare projects. As Lemurs lick on fruit ice lollies, and Sun bears smash open watermelons and tomatoes , we talk about this family run Zoo and is dedicated to education and conservation.

This week we’re joined by Cathryn Michon- film-maker, actor, comic and nationally best selling author. Cathryn is the only American woman screenwriter with two films released globally in 2019 (A Dog’s Way Home and A Dog’s Journey - the sequel to A Dog’s Purpose).

In her latest book, I’m Still Here: A Dog’s Purpose Forever, Cathryn takes the theme of A Dog’s Journey, which explores the idea of reincarnation, and eternal love, underlining that a dog’s purpose is to look after their human forever.

The book is not sad, is not about grief, but celebrating the eternal love and energy that dogs bring. It’s so thoughtfully put together with illustrations by Seth Taylor and printed on watercolour paper.

As a celebration of her muse dog, Tucker, we chat about energy and its lasting format, and the scope for connections on different levels.

The book also underlines our responsibility to dogs, the joy the bring, and the art at keep us in the moment. Cathryn postulates that dogs don’t live as long as people, and its down to their purpose to bring fun and spreading joy.

Bringing this gift to their people, time after time.

Huge thanks to Cathryn Michon @cathrynmichon
