Lawrence Minnis knows firsthand how much dogs can change your life.
An Army veteran and neuroscience researcher, Lawrence shares how dogs changed the course of his life after a neurological illness—and the science behind why adopting from a shelter can feel like a mix of fate, hope, and uncertainty.
We talk about why we choose the dogs we do, what happens when the reality of bringing a dog home doesn’t match what we imagined, and what can help make that relationship work for the long haul.
A really good conversation about adoption, trust, and the unexpected ways dogs find us. 🐾 New Episode drops tomorrow.
