A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

We’re joined by Actor, Author and Animal lover, Paul Drayton, talking about his love of dogs that was inspired by a Westie as a child. Drawn to animals he has owned horses, cows and even peacocks on his farm. We chat about his passion for Irish Setters and why they will always be apart of his heart. We talk about rescuing as being morally mandatory, and why Paul is a firm believer of spaying and neutering to minimise the dog population. We chat about the responsibility dogs really are, and the sad fact that rescues are now brimful down to the pandemic boom. Paul chats about his farm animals too and why he’s passionate about his pygmy goats.  We touch on why dogs impact on our lives and the devastation in knowing that dogs just don’t live long enough. Happily divorced Paul stresses how life is about chapters and moving forwards, which with his pack of dogs by his side he’s in a good place to write his book which will explain about how a sweet boy from Sunderland turned into a former alcoholic.

What is A Dog's Life with Anna Webb?

Dogs.

They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves.

Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary.

She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal.

It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive.
