Soul Dog: A Pet Loss Podcast Celebrating the Dogs We'll Never Forget

by Kate Butterly, Dog Lover & Pet Grief Specialist, Pup Cup Productions

Soul Dog: A podcast for dog lovers who know their dog was never just a dog.  If you've ever loved a dog so deeply that losing them felt like losing a piece of yourself, you're in the right place. 💛 Each week, host Kate Butterly, lifelong dog lover and pet loss grief specialist, sits down with guests to celebrate the dogs who shaped who we are. The funny stories, the lessons learned, the moments we'll hold onto forever. Because here's the thing. Our soul dogs didn't just walk beside us. They changed us. They taught us how to love without condition, how to find joy in the simplest moments, and how to be better humans. Who we are today is partly because of them. And that deserves to be said out loud. This is a space where grief and gratitude get to live side by side. Where you can miss your dog and still smile when you talk about them. Where your soul dog's life and your bond is honored, remembered, and celebrated. Think of it as your favorite bench at the dog park. Come sit with us. Share the stories, the memories, the lessons, the love. All of it. This is your community. And in the Soul Dog Park, nobody ever has to explain why they miss their dog as much as they do. We believe they were never just a dog. And we'll never stop saying so. 🐾 Short, sweet 10-minute episodes drop every week. Hosted by Kate Butterly, pet loss grief specialist and founder of Soul Dog. Produced by Pup Cup Productions.
