Why not cook something you and your dog can eat together? Nutritionist Gayle Pruitt joins us to discuss her book “The Dog Gone Good Cookbook” and share some of her favorite recipes. Did you know guppies try to hang around uglier fish to improve their odds of mating? And would you believe that someone actually got grant dollars to research and prove that, just like humans, fish have a “wingman” - or should we say “wing-fish?” Also, why are so many people inclined to talk “baby talk” to their pets? Certainly, our pets must think we’re crazy. Admit it, you may have, at one time, maybe a long time ago, talked to your pet in this silly tone. Also, a Utah man has his dog to thank for leading him to a winning lottery ticket. Steve Hughes stopped at a gas station in Boise, Idaho, to fill up, but his dog Stella locked him out of his truck. During his 45-minute wait to get back in his vehicle, Hughes decided to buy winning lotto tickets. Also, more Americans think of their pets as members of the family. But that doesn’t mean the animals are getting better care. Two-thirds of the dog owners surveyed for the latest “U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook” say they haven’t taken their pup to the vet even once.
