Description
<p>Sit. Stay. Safely jump through a fake glass window with dozens of people watching you. Ok, maybe that last command is best reserved for the pros. And it doesn’t get more pro than Sherri Davis.</p><br><p>Sherri wears many hats but her main gig is Executive Producer and Lead Dog Trainer for <em>Hudson & Rex</em>, the police drama that stars a crime-solving German Shepherd named Rex. Rex was originally played by Sherri’s beloved dog Diesel, who was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and died while they were shooting season 7. Sherri reflects on what it was like to lose her colleague, friend and “son” all at once. And she shares, with immense pride, how she trained Dillon - Diesel’s nephew - to fill those massive pawprints and take over as Rex in Season 8. Sherri says she was “born with” an uncanny ability to communicate with animals and knew she always wanted to help them. She shares the crazy story of how she got into training animals for the screen - and just how many types of critters she has wrangled (a lot). And she takes us behind the scenes of Death Row Dogs, her effort to save pups others don’t think can be rehabilitated and saved.</p><br><p>We asked Sherri Davis for a favourite pet-related cause and she encourages you to check out <a href="https://www.rainbowridersnl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rainbow Riders</a>. It’s an organization in St John’s, Newfoundland that provides therapy through horses and horseback riding to people with disabilities.</p><br><p>You can watch Season 8 of <a href="https://hudsonandrex.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hudson & Rex</a> on Citytv or stream it on <a href="https://citytvplus.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Citytv Plus</a>.</p><br><p>Follow Sherri Davis:</p><p>On <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brbk9/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Insta</a></p><br><p>Follow Hudson & Rex:</p><p>On <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hudsonandrex/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Insta</a> </p><p>On <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HudsonAndRex" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><br><p>***</p><br><p><strong><em>Furball Confidential</em></strong> is created and hosted by <a href="http://jennifermoroz.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jen Moroz</a></p><p><a href="https://www.taliaschlanger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Talia Schlanger</a> is our producer</p><p>She also co-created our theme music with <a href="https://www.davidtraverssmith.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Travers-Smith</a>, with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bravakilo/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brian Kobayakawa</a> on bass</p><p><a href="https://www.afilmbyrez.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reza Dahya</a> does the video and sound design and editing </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/danistover/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dani Stover </a>does our social media</p><p>Our show artwork is by <a href="https://www.adrianforrow.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adrian Forrow</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinahanna/?originalSubdomain=ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marina Hanna </a>does our audience development</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
