EP. 300: Inside the Creation of a New Protective Vest for Hunting Dogs

Host Bob St.Pierre visits with husband and wife duo Mark & Laura Flom who have created the new Tyro Dog Vests company. The Flom’s share the story behind the creation of their new hunting vests to protect their Springer spaniel and golden retriever bird dogs. They also talk about how the tragic death of St.Pierre’s own shorthair, “Izzy” in 2013, served as inspiration for their design.
