On our season finale of Daily Paws Presents: Warm Fuzzies, host Karman Hotchkiss sits down with Sarah Bohan of Boston, Massachusetts. Sarah is an avid runner and this year decided to try her hand (er, feet) at running the Chicago Marathon. She had trained for this moment for months and when the big day came on Oct. 8, 2023, the weather conditions couldn’t have been better for the 26.2-mile race. Sarah was determined to clock a personal best, but a funny thing happened on her way to the finish line: she caught sight of a tiny kitten crying on the side of the road. For Sarah, it was a “no brainer” as to what to do next.  Listen in as she shares one of the most heartwarming tales we’ve heard all year.

On this episode of Daily Paws Presents: Warm Fuzzies, host Karman Hotchkiss sits down with Nathan and Liane Pensack-Rinehart of Denver, Colorado. They are the pet parents—and handlers—of Xeli, Denver International Airport’s first and only therapy cat. Airport animal therapy programs—in which volunteer animals and their handlers roam terminals offering moments of furry bliss to weary, anxious, or stressed-out travelers—are popping up around the country, but most, like Denver's, use mainly therapy dogs. That’s no deterrent for this 11-year-old, super-personable tabby. She loves dogs as much as people, and gamely shows up at the airport every month, making the travel experience of those who stop and meet her a paws-itive one.

On this episode of Daily Paws Presents: Warm Fuzzies, host Karman Hotchkiss sits down with Tyler Van Leer, of the Millville, New Jersey, fire department, to talk about his colleague and bestie, Hansel, a goofy, lovable pit bull who just happens to be an ace arson detection dog. Hansel’s only been at the job for three years, but he’s already helped authorities catch a handful of arsonists in the area. Not bad for a pup who just a few years earlier was facing euthanasia in Canada. His journey to Tyler and his new life is a saga worth listening to.

On the debut episode of Daily Paws Presents: Warm Fuzzies, host Karman Hotchkiss interviews Alison Appleby, a dynamic 18-year-old who made national news last year when she won the 2022 Miss Dallas Teen pageant with her service dog, Brady, by her side (he even got his own crown!). Alison was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 16, and soon after, joined forces with Brady, a now 2-year-old golden retriever, who alerts her to oncoming seizures, fetches her medication when needed, and calms her when she’s stressed. But as lovable as Brady is, having a service dog by your side 24/7 isn’t always easy. Alison shares what it’s really like when a guardian angel is a furry, four-legged friend.
