Catching up with the hosts of the weekly CBS series Lucky Dog.
As told to Publisher, Susan Sims
Lucky Dog has given us an opportunity to pursue what we love to do on a much larger scale.
It’s been a year since we last spoke with husband-and-wife team Eric and Rashi Wiese and we wanted to catch up with them to find out if the dust had settled from their new roles on Lucky Dog.
FIDO Friendly: How has being part of Lucky Dog changed your lives?
Eric and Rashi Wiese: It has been an absolute honor to join the Lucky Dog platform. Lucky Dog has given us an opportunity to pursue what we love to do on a much larger scale. We get to meet so many wonderful people with incredible life stories and of course, amazing, resilient dogs that have so much love to give.
In particular, Rashi has been able to reach many more individuals and help get dogs adopted from local rescues and shelters outside of the show through our foundation, the WRARE Foundation. She’s also had students and social workers contact her, whether about career advice or simply to share pride for social work degrees and spreading the word about the valuable work social workers do for the community. It’s been an amazing experience to showcase our passion for helping people and animals and inspire others to do the same.
Eric has seen an increase in individuals reaching out to to learn more about positive reinforcement training. It’s exciting to know that more humane ways of working with animals are being recognized and sought out. We hope to continue educating the public on positive reinforcement training and create significant changes in the world of animal care and behavior training.
