Fuzzybutts and Friends
Me and my Fuzzybutts have backpacked thousands of miles and met a whole cast of cool and curious characters. As the founder of The Puppy Up Foundation and Fuzzbutt Studios and the father of 5 Infamous Fuzzybutts, 3 of which I've lost to cancer, we'll talk to guests that relate to our travels and inevitably to dogs. Join us for our crazy adventures on the road and on the air every Tuesdays! Puppy Up and Talk Soon. Grayson, Indiana & Luke (aka Yer Big Dog)
