from Crazy Together · host Marcus & Esme O’Kayvius
On this very special episode, Marcus and Esme tackle their most controversial topic to date – dogs! Why are dogs so controversial? Well, if a person says anything remotely negative about dogs, then you can darn well bet the dog lovers will come for that person. So, Marcus and Esme demonstrate great bravery as they attempt to answer the following questions: Why do people love dogs so much? What are the physical and psychological health benefits of dog ownership? What are the POTENTIAL negative impacts of dog ownership? PLUS: Marcus and Esme provide a brief follow-up of last week’s episode about the expansion of involuntary commitment in America.
