This episode is a reunion two decades in the making. Scott and I reconnected after 20 years, only to discover that our shared love for pets had shaped our lives in parallel ways. 

Scott grew up in a home where dogs weren’t just welcomed — they were drawn in. His parents bred Nordic dogs, strays wandered in like they belonged, and the yard was always alive with movement, personality, and unforgettable names like Thunder, Thor, and Pepsi. 

He also shares the tender story of losing Axle, the small dog who surprised him with a love so steady it helped him through pain, travel, and healing. Scott’s reflections remind us that every pet leaves a legacy — and that their joy stays with us long after they’re gone.
