Chaos, Calendars, and the Dogs Who Love Us Anyway

About this episode

This episode shares heartwarming stories of how dogs impact their owners' lives, highlighting themes of love and transformation.

In this heartwarming episode of The Dog Behind The Human , Dog Coach Francis shares two powerful letters from listeners whose lives were turned upside down — and ultimately transformed — by their dogs. Story 1: “Kiko Time” Lianne, a marketing assistant from Quezon City, thought she was just fostering a rescued aspin. What began as a temporary setup turned into a journey of torn shoes, missed meetings, and unexpected healing. Kiko didn’t just interrupt their calendar—he became the heartbeat of their home. Story 2: “The Suitcase Moment” Carla, a longtime listener, opens up about relationship struggles, silent drift, and how one stubborn Shih Tzu named Buster jumped into a suitcase… and saved something worth holding on to. This is a story about love, reconnection, and the quiet ways dogs keep us grounded. Coach Francis reflects on how dogs don’t fix our problems — they reveal what matters. From disrupting emotional spirals to becoming the quiet glue that holds everything together, this episode is a reminder that even the smallest dogs can teach us the biggest lessons. Listen now to uncover the messy, magical stories of the dogs behind the humans — and maybe, find your own story…
