I LOVE this story so much. This little dog went VIRLAL- Like GLOBAL! 

Scrim, a terrier mix rescue dog from New Orleans, gained fame for his daring escapes, becoming a local "folk hero" after repeatedly evading capture and becoming a symbol of the city's spirit. 
Michelle Cheramie, owner of Zeus' Rescues and a team of devoted volunteers worked night and day to find Scrim. Through a tropical storm, blizzard, and miles and miles of roads- they finally found him!
Listen to this amazing story of resilience that happened in a city that knows resiliency.

Then later, we welcomed a legend among dentistry. Bippo's Place For Smiles isn't only a dentist. It is an immersive and captivating world of Bippo the Hippo. In 1971, Dr. Edward L. Donaldson created the idea of Bippo the Hippo while he was stationed in Cuba with the United States Navy. At that time, Dr. Donaldson was the Navy’s only pediatric dentist. He created the Bippo character to help calm children’s dental fears by telling a story of the baby hippo’s first visit to the dentist. While he was stationed in Cuba, Dr. Donaldson met an artist named Harriet Hastings, the wife of a Navy officer. Mrs. Hastings beautifully illustrated Dr. Donaldson’s story using the Cuban terrain as inspiration and the world of Bippo the Hippo began.

From entering Bippo's Place to PLAYING in Bippo's Place, and of course, the gentle care that your kiddos get from Bippo's place is unlike any dentist you have ever seen. Trust your Papa. I sought this place out personally andI am so glad to share it with you! He has since passed the torch to numerous doctors, including his daughter, Dr. Jill Donaldson. The practice now has four pediatric dentists and 8 general dentists to assist them. You will find that our friendly staff of doctors, assistants and front desk helpers are always looking for new ways to make your visits pleasant and fun.

Today on the show we welcome Dr. Jill Donaldson and hear the real story of Bippo the Hippo! Listen to how she and her dad revolutionized the way kiddos get their teeth cared for!
