We’re joined by Author Grace Olson who is talking about her latest series of children’s book about her sheep. These are sheep that have turned into therapists and work alongside Grace in helping people. Complementing Grace’s horses that have for many years been offering intuitive comfort and healing to Grace’s human clients. We talk about how sheep have different personalities and are all individuals like dogs or cats, and how her flock of six have taken Grace on an emotional journey too. Famous for being regular contributors on the acclaimed TV show The Yorkshire Vet , Grace’s sheep can run agility courses and are not shy of the limelight. We also discuss the concept of telepathy and why Grace believes that its is possible for animals to pick up human intentions. Her horses have shown Grace that like dogs, they have the ability to ‘smell’ cancer, so this episode is celebrating all animals as sentient, and it might just make you think twice before eating a lamb casserole ever again!

This week we’re joined by Jason Cortis who facilitates courses for Blue Cross and works directly with police forces. Dog-related incidents reported to police have risen sharply, up from 30,500 in 2023 to over 32,500 in 2024, with the broader category of dogs being out of control, including injuries to people, adding another 23,000 cases annually.

Meanwhile, NHS figures show an 88% increase in hospital attendances for dog injuries over the last 15 years, and research suggests one in four people will be bitten in their lifetime.

The stark figures reinforce an urgent need for intervention, with the charity Blue Cross teaming up with over 30 police forces across the country to launch the Responsible Dog Ownership Course (RDOC) to mitigate risk and improve public safety.

The three-hour course is turning potentially life-changing legal situations into opportunities for safer, more responsible ownership.
