Tonight’s episode of DogTown features an especially inspiring story of a mixed-breed dog who survived living in the wild near the Grand Canyon. Shaggy is a feral dog, having spent years of extreme weather and hardship and is, understandably so, unable to trust and interact with humans. After six years spent alone in the Grand Canyon, this wild and dreadlocked pup is heading to DogTown with Sherry Woodard.
Then Dr. Mike and his wife turn to John Garcia for help with their dog Penny, a mischievous beagle mix whose uncontrollable behavior must be corrected before she causes more damage to their happy home. John provides some pretty neat puppy puzzles to help keep the rambunctious pup occupied.
And, finally, Reggie’s family can no longer afford the veterinary care for this elkhound mix and surrender him to DogTown, where he is treated for a mysterious disease that is slowly destroying his nose and ears.
Check out Penny and the toys that provide her with the mental exercise she’s craving:
