After years of hoping for their very own Miniature Dachshund, Emily and Matt were finally able to adopt Frank in the wake of the pandemic in 2021, while living in a flat in London.

Following years of heartache and misdirection, they were finally able to seek some relief when they were put in touch with Jo. In this candid conversation, Emily and Jo delve into their journey in helping Frank and also explore the nature of animal companionship when two dedicated and loving owners are driven to their absolute limits.
