Episode notes

Listen, we want to be very clear that we do not condone war NOR the use of animals in it! However, sometimes you remember that there was a bear named Wojtek in World War II who was an ACTUAL enlisted soldier and you have to tell the story. We also discuss the pets we WISH we could have if they were actual options. Would you have a pet beer drinking bear? We might! Plus, we have a fabulous Ready Pet Go from Emi and Piper! Also don’t forget to listen to the BBC podcast Witch to hear the full story we mentioned that led us to Wojtek!
