Episode Synopsis

In this gentle and emotionally rich episode of The Pawsome Companion, host Johanna Herrera is joined by guests who explore how dogs respond to grief — not just through training, but through instinct, connection and quiet presence.
 
Dog trainer Wendy Meek shares how support dogs are matched and trained to work with individuals navigating trauma, PTSD and loss. Her experience shines a light on the sensitivity and emotional intelligence that some dogs naturally possess, and how they can be guided to bring comfort in powerful ways.
 
Scott opens up about the bond he shared with his dog during one of the hardest chapters of his life — the loss of his father. His reflections are personal, raw and deeply moving.
 
Amy, also a dog trainer, shares how dogs have helped her clients through periods of emotional pain, grief and even end-of-life care. She reminds us that training isn’t always about teaching the dog something new. Sometimes, it’s about creating space for the dog to be exactly what the human needs.
Together, these stories paint a picture of what compassion looks like on four legs.
