The UK’s First Dog Bus: Billy’s Bus Founder Laura Mohan

Jack and Sara (no Seann, he's ill) are joined by Laura Mohan, the founder of Billy’s Bus - the UK’s first dog bus, inspired by her Cavapoo Billy. What began as a search for better care for her own dog has grown into a fully customised bus giving dogs social adventures, with carefully matched packs, and huge focus on wellbeing. Laura explains how it works, as well as the unexpected impact it’s having on the wider community through volunteering and connection. There’s also a message from Mildred Barrett in Seann's absence, an update on Juniper and Dolly, and all the usual dog chat as they hold the fort while Seann recovers.Join more than 180,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresSee Seann LIVE: Seannwalsh.comBillysbus.co.ukEmail us: [email protected]'t forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomd @animal.rising @billysbusGo to our website for more: omdpod.com00:00 No Seann!
