DOP45 The Work That Changed Us: Street Dogs, Love, and Purpose — Alex Blumberg & Brady Oliveira
Manage episode 479965580 series 3123795
In this special episode of Design On Purpose, host Rix Lee sits down in Bali with Alex and Brady — two inspiring independent rescuers from Canada who have made it their mission to save street dogs across Bali and Northern Manitoba. We dive deep into the emotional highs and lows of frontline animal rescue, hear unforgettable stories of Wasabi, Theo, and others, and learn how building compassion and setting boundaries helps sustain their important work. This is an emotional, raw, and inspiring look at real-world rescue and the bigger purpose behind it.
In loving memory of Theo who crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after recording this podcast.
