Eps 108. Fred hasn’t failed

Have you ever felt like your dog didn’t quite live up to your expectations, or worried they “failed” at a role you hoped they’d fill? In this episode host Debbie Potter gets real about her journey with Fred, her golden retriever, who was supposed to be an emotional support dog for her autistic daughters.

Debbie opens up about her initial hopes for Fred, how life’s challenges changed their path, and the unexpected ways Fred has become an irreplaceable source of comfort at home—even if he doesn’t fit the “perfect” support dog mold out in the world. Through her honest reflection, Debbie reminds us all to celebrate the small, meaningful ways our dogs enrich our lives, often in ways we overlook.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by your dog’s struggles or questioned your own efforts as a dog parent, this episode will inspire you to shift your mindset, recognize your dog’s unique strengths, and find joy in the little wins.
