09/29/15 - Tuesday’s Topical Currents is an “At Your Service” edition about . . . pet care.

We feature veterinarian Dr. Ian Kupke of the Sabal Chase Animal Clinic and dog trainer and behaviorist Edel Miedes. We’ll take calls about pet care of course, and also recognize “National Service Dog Month.” We’ll find out how these differ from the increasingly popular “Emotional Support Animals, who have no special training. That’s Topical Currents . . . Tuesday at 1pm.
