Beyond the Cartoons: Bears, Whales, Deer & Dog Wisdom
This week on Animal Party, Deborah Wolfe takes listeners on a fascinating, thought-provoking journey through the real world behind our favorite animal stories. From grizzly bear attacks and controversial wildlife management decisions to whale entanglements, deer behavior, and chronic wasting disease, Deborah unpacks the complex relationship between humans and wild animals. Along the way, she shares practical dog-training wisdom from forest foraging walks with her own pack, explains why variety makes both dog packs and human teams stronger, and offers tips for staying safe and respectful in nature. The episode also includes hands-on dog-walking advice, a homemade turkey-pumpkin treat recipe, inspiring zoo education programs, and a reminder that animals like “Baloo” and “Bambi” are far more complex — and dangerous — than their cartoon counterparts.
