Sound Bites of Gratitude (Literally!)

Listen together, and discover how gratitude sounds when love has a voice.

This month’s Pawdcast with Dr. Kevin and Greta Rose is a heartwarming conversation about gratitude, love, and balance — with practical tips for enjoying the holidays without overdoing it on treats.

You’ll hear the rescue story of George, a dog with the odds stacked against him who won the hearts of … well, everybody, as told by an integral member of our team, Nyasha Ezekiel.

And because every bark, meow, and trill tells a story — here’s what science reveals about how our pets speak gratitude:

Dogs: A bark isn’t just a bark. Higher-pitched barks often signal excitement or play, while lower ones say “protect” or “pay attention.” A few short bursts with a loose tail wag? That’s pure joy — your dog saying, “I’m grateful you’re here.”

Cats: Cats meow mostly for humans. Every sound is custom — from the soft chirp that greets you in the morning to the long, drawn-out meow that means, “Come with me.” That delicate trill? It’s their way of saying, “I missed you.”
