Collette Cooper

In this episode we talk to actor, singer, animal activist, and most importantly, mum to Billy the Parson-Russell terrier, about her life long love of dogs and all animals, how Billy came into her life, and feeding raw. We also talk about how inspiring pets can be, as noted in the book Women and Dogs, which features Billie Holiday, Bridget Bardot, and Janis Joplin who Collette portrays in a one woman play with live music called Tomorrow May Be My Last. Collette even mentions George, Janis' dog, in the script.

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.
