Mike and Beth are back live today on Animal Wise Radio with two special guests. We're asking Al Peters, Executive Director of Can Do Canines, what it takes from people and pups to foster and train service dogs for a wide variety of special tasks and special needs - Can-Do-Canines.org.

We'll also check in with YesBiscuit! blogger Shirley Thistlethwaite at YesBiscuit.Wordpress.com. She recently wrote a blog about the FL based Caboodle Cat Sanctuary, closed in 2012 but once again in the news as a court settlement is nearing. Her blog raises interesting questions and hackles among no-kill advocates and supporters of the ASPCA and PETA. This will be an interesting conversation!
