The Dogs of John 5

from Rocker Dogcast · host Tim Dill

Today we're joined by a true monster of rock in virtuoso guitarist John 5 (solo, Motley Crue, Rob Zombie) who introduces us to his tour savvy and clone worthy dogs Churro and Thi Thi who are no strangers to John's legion of fans. Both rescued from dire circumstances, we talk about their harrowing origins, the value they add to John's life and learn about the lesser known pups that came before them. Easily our new favorite episode from an unabashed dog guy who's not afraid to express the affection he has for his animals. Catch John 5 live next at the 5th Annual JOHN 5 NAMM JAM at The Observatory in Santa Ana on January 23rd and the following day at Hopmonk Session Room in Novato, CA. For tickets go to john-5.comJohn's shout outs (in consultation with his sister-in-law Renia) go to the TM Crew Senior Dog Sanctuary whose mission is to make sure that every senior dog lives out their life to the fullest, surrounded by love until the very end. To get involved through volunteering, adopting and donating visit tessamayseniorsanctuary.comProps also go to Yogi's House, a women owned and operated foster-based rescue that works tirelessly to save dogs from the euthanasia lists of overcrowded California shelters. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate go to itsyogishouse.orgThe special dog food that should be on Churro and Thi Thi's tour rider is Maxota Raw, providers of handcrafted raw food for the urban wolf using 100% natural ingredients. Visit their pet food store and open kitchen in San Diego and La Jolla or place an order to ship anywhere in California at maxotaraw.com We'd love to hear more from our dog loving community with comments, questions, guest suggestions, partnerships and opportunities that ultimately result in amplifying dog advocacy.
