59
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.479
Now you're gonna have some fun with me. I hope.
60
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.919
I want you to tell all of us what you
61
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.599
were doing and what I'm calling you. Ready for it?
62
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.319
B p D? Before photographing dogs? What were you doing? Yeah?
63
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.800
So I was working a pretty normal career. I worked
64
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.879
in sales and a couple different industries, originally in apparel,
65
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.400
then in the tech world. So I was selling software
66
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.120
some jobs I really liked others that were just not
67
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.840
as fulfilling. But when COVID hit, I invested in a
68
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.920
camera for the first time. I always had a bit
69
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.279
of an interest in photography and found that I just
70
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.439
absolutely loved photographing dogs. And when the idea came to
71
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.519
me to travel the world and photograph dogs in different cultures,
72
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.120
it was one that just consumed me and I couldn't
73
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.040
kick and I saw an opportunity to make it happen.
74
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.759
I took a bunch of small steps to get there,
75
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.040
and then took the leap and started traveling full time
76
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.920
for what I thought would be about a year, and
77
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.160
it was about three years total that I was pursuing
78
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:45.759
it full time.
79
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.519
Now, did you scratch off a lottery ticket or what?
80
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.199
That's a big, big mission.
81
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.759
Yeah. I probably planned it for about five years before
82
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.839
I started traveling, when the idea was small, but always
83
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.079
putting money away with this idea.
84
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.959
And remember during COVID, we actually had money in the
85
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.000
bank because we weren't going anywhere.
86
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.279
Yeah, I would say during COVID is when I saved
87
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.000
a chunk of my money. And then I got to
88
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.000
the point and I sold everything everything that I had
89
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.519
of value, which wasn't much, but I just got as
90
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.399
much cash in the bank as I could and said,
91
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.480
all right, I have some savings, let's go spend it
92
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.519
on something that I've dreamt of doing.
93
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.279
What was the first real camera that you got, you
94
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.079
got your paws on?
95
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.759
It was a Nikon DSLR, the D seven to fifty.
96
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.480
It's still the camera that I use today. I'm wanting
97
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.759
in a need of an upgrade, but we're not quite
98
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:37.759
there yet financially.
99
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.600
Well, you've been on our show, so maybe we'll sell
100
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.720
at least three copies of your book Working Dogs, and
101
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.680
that should help, right.
102
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.480
Yes, that's the next goal of a Zach grading the gear.
103
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.800
So you get the camera. But and this is important
104
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.399
for others that want to follow their dreams, John, you
105
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.600
started reaching out to people, right, Yeah.
106
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.639
The first person I reached out to was a photography teacher,
107
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.839
because I said, if I'm going to be serious about this,
108
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.120
I don't want to just have it as something on
109
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.839
the side. I snapped photos here and there, and he
110
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.560
just pushed me to become a better photographer, taught me
111
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.439
how to use my camera, gave me a lot of
112
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.920
good advice along the way. And then I when I
113
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.319
was ready to start traveling, I've really mapped out where
114
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.560
I wanted to go, the relationships I wanted to see
115
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.000
in the world, and I was not hesitant to email
116
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.480
anyone and everyone that I found interesting and said can
117
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.319
I come visit and photograph your dogs?
118
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.639
I love it? So who's the shout out to your teacher?
119
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319
His name's Colin Gordon. He's in Buffalo, New York. He
120
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.120
is a fantastic photographer. He does weddings primarily, but if
121
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.120
you need him for anything, he is an artist in
122
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:38.959
the truest sense.
123
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.839
Oh that's great. So your book it's a big book, guys.
124
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.199
It's over two hundred and thirty pages. And I have
125
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.839
really strong arms now because I've been weightlifting. His book,
126
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.439
Working Dogs. It's beautiful. It's like National Geographic, you know,
127
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.120
meets Life magazine. So you are on this adventure. I
128
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.079
don't want to spoil everything, but if you could kind
129
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.279
of share, I think there's twenty chapters. Correct, yes, And
130
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.959
if you want to know this, the American Kennel Club
131
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.120
has recognized two hundred and one dog breeds, and everybody
132
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.360
knows there's you know, the poodle and the Corgi and
133
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.720
blah blah blah. But your book, your book is identifying
134
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.000
different kinds of dogs that put the capital D in diversity.
135
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.079
I'm just looking really quickly. You've got I want us
136
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.480
to go by the chapter, so one of the ones
137
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.439
I want you to talk with. If you don't mind,
138
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.079
can we can you be our tour guide?
139
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.639
John on this absolutely, I'd be happy to.
140
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.120
All right, So we're going to go to Australia, maybe
141
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.000
down Under, and you met a woman Jan McIntyre kelpies.
142
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.680
What are kelpies? I know about Australian shepherds and border
143
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.680
collies and corgi's. Oh my, but kelpies.
144
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.839
Yeah. I found that the kelpies are the standard there.
145
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:57.560
That's the breed that stockmen and women have used to
146
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.439
move their livestock around massive padd and I was unaware
147
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.600
of that breed really before I started researching it a
148
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.040
bit more. I always thought of collie's and cheap dogs,
149
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.360
similar to you. And we found that a lot of
150
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.240
the farmers there that I met would use a mix
151
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.800
of them. Kelpies seemed to be the greater number of them,
152
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.319
and kelpies. They describe them as independent thinkers.
153
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.720
That's a nice way to say my way or the highway.
154
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.079
Yeah, they say they would keep both. And they say
155
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:26.600
with the kelpies, you tell them what to do and
156
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.839
they're like a teenager. They say, yeah, I know, yeah,
157
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.200
I know, I got this. And Collie's on the other hand,
158
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.080
you tell them what to do and it's like yeah, yes,
159
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.000
of course, and what's next, yes, and what's next yes,
160
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.120
I captain. So they like to use a mix of them,
161
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.440
but kelpies were the standard, that was the breed that.
162
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.919
That was my first real exposure to it and watching
163
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.519
them work, you can tell, especially being around really young kelpies,
164
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.240
they're born with it. They're born to muster.
165
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.559
Had you ever been to Australia before?
166
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.519
No, my first time was that one.
167
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.519
Of your first ventures. Did you just leave Buffalo, New
168
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.440
York and say, see, yeah, going all the way to
169
00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.399
the other side of the world.
170
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.519
No, The first place I went to is Germany. Australia
171
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.559
was probably around country number nine or ten on the
172
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.559
list of where I'm at all.
173
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.000
Right, So segway to Germany because you went into the
174
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.840
dogs that are being trained for being police work and
175
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.960
protection right in Nuremberg.
176
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.639
Yeah, that was my first real day of shooting was
177
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:24.519
going and watching a dog training facility. It's really they
178
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.240
call it. It's like a club where people that just
179
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:31.480
have a passion for training working breeds, German shepherds, malanoir.
180
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.720
There was a big Schnauzer there and watching what these
181
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.399
dogs are capable of was just incredible. I got to
182
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.159
see the bite work in action, putting on the.
183
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.519
Big come on, share a little bit because who's the
184
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.320
brave or well maybe a little brain cells missing, This
185
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.759
is sure, I'll volunteer to put that bite sleeve on.
186
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.200
At the end of the day, I did it, and
187
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.080
it's it's something. It was very eye opening to me
188
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.000
because you watch videos online and you see dogs sprinting
189
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.200
and jumping and lunging and grabbing on. But then when
190
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.919
you see it in person and you watch the training,
191
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.279
you see realize how controlled it is. These dogs. They
192
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.840
put a special collar on and they know when that
193
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.279
collo goes on, they're going to practice bike work. They're
194
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.559
only going to bite the sleeve or the suit. They
195
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.080
would never So when I had it, I have a
196
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.200
dog that's it's got its entire mouth on my arm.
197
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.960
It is biting down. It is really making a lot
198
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.879
of noises, but I'm petting its head and it's kind
199
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.759
of like cooing a little and there's no worry that
200
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.440
it's just going to like latch onto my hand or anything,
201
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.120
because this is exercise that they've worked on and trained
202
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.399
to the point of first biting the sleeve and then
203
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.720
putting the sleeve on and things like that, so they
204
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.559
know that's the only thing that they are ever trained
205
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.039
to bite. So it was really impressive, and after watching it,
206
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.080
I didn't have any fear giving it a shot myself.
207
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.799
Oh my gosh, So you're a brave man. You also
208
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.320
did another place in Ireland. I'm really curious because you
209
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.879
were focusing on search and rescue and I fell in
210
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.879
love with the photos of Doris and Daphney. Tell everybody
211
00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.919
what kind of dogs they are. They are rot while
212
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.679
all right, I love Roddy's tell us about what that
213
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.720
adventure was about.
214
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.480
Yeah, so I originally went to Ireland to focus on
215
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.519
what they refer to as restricted breeds. These are dogs
216
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.919
that they think are inherently dangerous and there's a lot
217
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.639
of regulations. They have to be muzzled in public, things
218
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.200
like that, surrounding at you know, sort of the reputations
219
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.519
that some breeds get, which oftentimes I think are.
220
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.679
What are the other breeds that have to be muzzled
221
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:24.200
in public?
222
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.960
Off the top of my head, it's Doberman, German shepherds,
223
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:32.799
pit bull mixes, Cane Corsos, Dougle, Argentinos. There's eleven or
224
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.360
twelve different breeds, I believe, and I want to focus
225
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.240
on the relationships people had with these dogs. They selected
226
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.960
them knowing that there's going to be regulations on them.
227
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.360
But I really love those Rottweilers, which are one of
228
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.080
the restricted breeds, showing that when they have a proper
229
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.600
trainer and handler and owner who knows how to handle
230
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.759
a working breed, what they're capable of. And I believe
231
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.840
at the time they were the only two Rottweilers that
232
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.440
were doing search and rescue in all of Ireland, just
233
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.720
because they had trainers who knew how to work these
234
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.840
breeds who have a history as working dogs. And it's
235
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.399
really just showing like, if you get a certain breed,
236
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.440
you have to know what's the temperament, what's skill set,
237
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.720
what was it originally read for, what are the instincts
238
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.320
and using those in a positive light shows what you
239
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.639
can make of these dogs, and that's what Doris and
240
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.240
Daphnie where they were really incredible.
241
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.200
And so what were their personalities like when they were
242
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.120
off the clock.
243
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.440
They were really docile, really just sweet dogs. And then
244
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.399
you see when it's time to start training, like they
245
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.200
get to work. Yeah, and they're doing search and rescue,
246
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:29.960
so they know that there's a scent. They give them
247
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.879
something and they have to go find the scent. And
248
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.480
I would be on a path photographing them, and I
249
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.200
remember I think it was Doris coming by and gave
250
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.159
like a quick sniff and then was on her way
251
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.600
like I don't care, I have no interest in this person.
252
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.960
It is not the sn I'm looking for, and then
253
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.679
she kept going. And then at the end they reward them,
254
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.480
like Doris wanted to play with the ball, that's her reward.
255
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.360
So to them, it's all a game, but it's really
256
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.639
good love that in many cases doing life saving work.
257
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.559
You know, people who are missing, people with Alzheimer's who
258
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.600
make it lost. They've helped a search and rescue for
259
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.759
people like that. So it really is incredible work that
260
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.879
these dogs do. But it's funny. At the end of
261
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.519
the day, for them, it's just a game and something
262
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.960
there to really utilize the instincts and the capabilities that
263
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.279
they have.
264
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.639
Hey, pet Pals, we're speaking with John Fabiano. He is
265
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.559
the author of the book Working Dogs. We're gonna have
266
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.840
some fun because when we come back from the break,
267
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.000
we're going to talk about things like truffle dogs, how
268
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:32.960
about monkey dogs and lobster dogs, all of this and
269
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.279
more after we take this break. So sit, stay, we'll
270
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:36.759
be right.
271
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:43.120
Back time for a walk on the red carpet of course,

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.360
added since I did some research on you.
298
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.399
We're up to twenty four that I've done for graffing dogs. Yeah.
299
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.159
Four Wow. And when you're not on the job photographing
300
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.879
dogs all over the world, do you want to give
301
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.759
a shout out to your sweet dog?
302
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.840
Oh, Viola, my girl. Yeah. Viola is what is she?
303
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.679
German Shepherd, Australian cattle dog and bloodhound is the top breed.
304
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.600
That is, she's a mix of like eleven or twelve dogs.
305
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.679
She was a part of a litter that was dumped
306
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.360
on the side of the road in South Carolina and
307
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.440
they were making their way up to shelter in Canada
308
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.480
and I reached out when she was in transit and
309
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.120
said can I have her? They said yes, and I've
310
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.879
had her ever since. She's been to four or five
311
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.679
countries with me so far, so she's count We went
312
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.960
to Costa Rica for about four months a couple of
313
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.120
years ago, and then now we live in the Netherlands,
314
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.399
she's been there, and then just recently we went to France.
315
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.360
Oh my gosh. Yeah, Viola's bounced around. She's been into
316
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.200
Canada because I live right on the border in Buffalo,
317
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.320
my hometown.
318
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.440
Oh yeah, and is how old is Viola now?
319
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.360
She is seven seven?
320
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.840
So does her bark change when she goes to France?
321
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.399
Yeah?
322
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.120
She uh. I don't think Viole is smart enough to
323
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.799
learn one language, let alone too.
324
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.559
Oh that okay, all right? And you also have a
325
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.399
two legger with you?
326
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.559
Who is Yes, Stephanie, my wife, My lovely, fantastic wife
327
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.639
who has been unbelievably supportive and just along for the
328
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.039
ride with me for so much of it.
329
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.200
Does she take photos too? Or what's her she?
330
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.000
I always call her? She's an unpaid employee of mine.
331
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.440
She was.
332
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.039
All my employees are unplayed, including myself, and Steph does
333
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.240
some videography. She likes to do some behind the scenes,
334
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.519
so I like to see that too, because it's not
335
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.440
often that, like I get to see myself on action
336
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.679
doing it. So she's snapped a handful of shots of
337
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.360
me behind the camera, which is great.
338
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.120
Now, think about how do you say to somebody and
339
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.720
if you're in the Amsterdam or you're in Buffalo, New
340
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.960
York and you're trying to reach Let's go to somebody
341
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.559
in Japan and say, hey, I want to come to
342
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.919
your country and talk about dogs that are keeping away
343
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:03.960
nuisance monkeys from farm lands and without them saying scam
344
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:04.799
it was.
345
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.480
It was much harder at the beginning because I truly
346
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.880
was a nobody and I didn't even have like an
347
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.720
Instagram page or any real photography other than some photos
348
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.759
of Viola to show them. And I slowly built together
349
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.400
a portfolio, which I think gave me a little bit
350
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.640
more legitimacy that I've gone to these countries and I've
351
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:25.759
done this. I had an overall goal that I was
352
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.079
working on to see these different countries, and they really
353
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.359
I went with intention. I would say, I remember my
354
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.599
brother Andy, who just supported me through it all, and
355
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.720
in the beginning I was talking to him and he goes,
356
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.039
imagine if someone from the other side of the world
357
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.319
called you and said I want to take pictures of
358
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:46.039
viola and how would you feel? And it's like I
359
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.799
think I saw that and so many people that there
360
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.559
was excitement and we connected immediately over all love of
361
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.680
dogs and they wanted to show off their dogs to
362
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.559
someone who was passionate and wanted to photograph it.
363
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:01.559
That is awesome. So monkeys, Hey, what's going on in Japan?
364
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.480
There was some town as you Meino, I don't know,
365
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.119
I'm not good. I just love sushi. But there's a
366
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.920
border Collie and a breed called a kai ken mm.
367
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:14.920
Hmm, yeah to just working breeds. And monkeys are typically
368
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.920
a nuisance on farmland in they go in, they tear
369
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.079
apart crops, they eat them, so farmers are looking for
370
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.960
ways to get rid of them, and there's a lot
371
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.640
of the lethal ways to get rid of them, which
372
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.559
you just find farmers looking for an alternative. They don't
373
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.599
want to just be killing off these wild animals, so
374
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.200
they'll bring dogs in and the dogs will come and
375
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.039
chase the monkeys away. They'll live out within the crops
376
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.519
and protect them, and as soon as we would show up,
377
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.400
the monkeys would scatter like they knew really that the
378
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.400
dogs were there. They didn't want any part of it
379
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.039
and the goal. It was amazing that there was never
380
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.279
any conflict. Intention good. They didn't want the monkeys and
381
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.480
dogs to meet. They had incredible recall. They just want
382
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.680
them to chase them off and say this is an
383
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.279
area where there is danger. Stop coming here and stop
384
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.039
eating the crops.
385
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.319
So then you also had a use for their dog
386
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:08.079
hair too, right they do what do they do?
387
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:10.640
Yeah? I would say he was like he was like
388
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.400
a dealer. He would he had bags like like he
389
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:13.839
would have.
390
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.319
Bags of drugs, dog hare.
391
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.839
Hey, he would leave them with Yeah, let me get
392
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.759
a dime bag of dog hair and he would leave
393
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.599
it with them and they would scatter it all around
394
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.759
the crop. So just the scent was always there for
395
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.920
the monkeys as well, that you know dogs are in
396
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.480
the area. The monkeys are smart enough they've seen dogs.
397
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.319
There's dog here, there's the smell of it, and it
398
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.240
would become an area where they would avoid.
399
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.279
Oh my gosh, this is awesome. I hope you're having
400
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.720
a fun time. Are you doing all right here? John? Yeah?
401
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.759
All these crazy questions from me, Yeah.
402
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.079
It's I could talk dogs all day.
403
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.880
So I'm having all right, now we're going to go
404
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.359
to Italy. I've been to Italy. Big thing there is
405
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.160
truffles set us up for Burba and Maya. Those are
406
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:52.559
the dogs.
407
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.640
Yeah, yes, so we went on a truffle hunt.
408
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.559
Nice.
409
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.319
I always thought of pigs as doing truffle hunting, did I?
410
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.279
You know, a truffle pig was always the thought in
411
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.839
my mind. And actually my in law is a couple
412
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.559
of years ago went to Italy and went on a
413
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.279
truffle hunt with dogs. So that's the kind of thing
414
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:12.720
that I just tuck in the back of my mind
415
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.960
if I'm ever in Italy in the area, I want
416
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.880
to see truffle hunting dogs. And they found that the
417
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.759
dogs just do a lot less destruction to the forest.
418
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.680
What do pigs dow versus dogs with paws? That's the difference.
419
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.039
I think they just really tear up the ground in
420
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.640
the landscape where dogs are more they'll find the truffle
421
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.000
and dig in that certain spot, and pigs are more
422
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.880
likely to eat the truffle. Oh, it's harder to wrestle
423
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:37.720
it away from them.
424
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.759
So it is those are big pigs too.
425
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.759
Yeah, it's an adrenaline rush when you see the dogs
426
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.160
start digging, because if you just let them dig, the
427
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.079
dogs gonna eat the truffle. They have a taste for them.
428
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.359
They have a smell phone. So the guides we were with,
429
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.119
as soon as they saw that the dogs were digging,
430
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.880
it's like you got to run. And as soon as
431
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:56.279
they'd see the truffle, a hand would go in and
432
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.400
they'd grab it, and it was like a big celebration
433
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.319
to find the truffle.
434
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.480
Have you ever eating truffles before?
435
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.720
Yeah, I had had truffles before. And then we the
436
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.880
truffles we brought back, they shaved right off and we
437
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.079
ate them, you know, a half hour after we found
438
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.400
them in the forest. So it was awesome, a really
439
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.440
really cool experience.
440
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.519
What's Burba and maya like bourba' is a weird breed.
441
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.440
I can't even say it's just Italian.
442
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.000
It's I'm going to butcher it. But it's like Legato romanogo.
443
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.240
I you did pretty good.
444
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.799
Yeah, my surnames Fabiano and my Italian is not as
445
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.839
strong as you might think, and they are classically trained
446
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.759
for truffle hunting. That was the first I really had
447
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:35.880
exposure to that breed and heard of it and knew
448
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.240
of it, but it's a type of dog that has
449
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.359
just been bred for that type of work for generation.
450
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.680
It's a good sized dog too.
451
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.720
Yeah, they were probably twenty five thirty pounds, and but
452
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.759
they moved like jumping over trees and logs and in
453
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.640
and out of holes and everywhere. Just you could tell
454
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.359
how much fun they were having throughout the whole experience.
455
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.880
And that's the thing I've seen with a lot of
456
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.039
working dogs across the world, is the dogs are just
457
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.400
living to the fullest. They're having so much fun throughout.
458
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.079
That's what life should be, right.
459
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:05.200
Yeah, exactly, It's not like they're you know, I think
460
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.359
of people going to work. This is the dog's going
461
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.799
to work. They're couldn't be more excited.
462
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.559
Yeah. Now I want to get back to the States
463
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.759
because years ago I lived in California and I had
464
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.359
not one, but two members of the original So Cal
465
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.440
surf Dogs. It was Chippering Cleo, but we called them
466
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.000
chip Ahoy and c They were having fun with it
467
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.960
and they love to ride the surfboards. But you went
468
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.599
to Portland, Maine and tell everybody about Captain Eric and
469
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.279
I guess his dog's name was Briggs. Is Briggs.
470
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.359
What would they do? So we were going on a
471
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.119
road trip er on the Northeast, Stephiola and I last year,
472
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.839
and at this point I knew that I was working
473
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:44.920
on this book, and I was like, what's a working
474
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.240
dog that I can find during this road trip.
475
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.839
And business expense?
476
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.720
Yes, And I'd heard of lobster dogs in the past
477
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.440
that like are fishing dogs more so? Okay, So I
478
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.400
reached It's always like reaching out in a Facebook group
479
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.599
or like something like that and just saying this is
480
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.119
who I am, this is what I'm doing. Does anyone
481
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.839
have a lead or know anybody? And Eric reached out.
482
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.960
He said, I own my own lobster fishing company and
483
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:14.000
my dog Briggs is always on the boat with me.
484
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.480
And he's a guy who started a business by himself.
485
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.400
It's called Eat Lobster.
486
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.000
And Eat Come on slow down. Where does that spell?
487
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:28.119
Yeah? And he'd showed me such a good day with
488
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.279
him and Briggs on the boat, and he started the
489
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:32.319
business by himself. He'd be out on the water all
490
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.920
the time alone if it wasn't for Briggs. So it's
491
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.079
really the companionship, camaraderie. If anything is to happen, He's
492
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:38.960
got Brigs with him.
493
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.559
What kind of dog is Briggs? Would you say?
494
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.519
He's a black lab?
495
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.000
Okay, okay, so he's a good sized dog that's right.
496
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.000
Imperfect for the water. If he falls in, he can
497
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:52.319
swim and just brings the enthusiasm, high energy. And you
498
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.000
tell him to drive the boat, he jumps up next
499
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:56.200
to the wheel. You say lobster. He puts his paws
500
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.039
up on the side and looks out in the distance.
501
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:00.480
Really yeah, so he had so.
502
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:05.960
Much better than sit, stay, leave it right. Breaks is like, yeah, baby,
503
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.559
give me some clever commands.
504
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.839
Eric will send me a video just him saying lobster
505
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.240
in the house and Briggs comes running through and from
506
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.440
the other room like he just loves going on the boat.
507
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.000
And it was really cool to watch someone just doing
508
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.960
their everyday work and having a dog by the side
509
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:21.039
throughout all of it.
510
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.559
There's so many chapters to this book that you've created.
511
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.440
This is really a work of art. Is there a
512
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.799
special tale we haven't discussed that you would love to
513
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.200
share with our resillions of listeners and doers.
514
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.079
I would say the most important one to me is
515
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.319
the hospital therapy dogs and witnessing the work that they do.
516
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.440
I've had tears in my eyes behind the camera twice
517
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.400
and both of them were instances being in hospitals and
518
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:50.039
watching what these dogs do for people on some of
519
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:53.119
the hardest journeys that they're going through in their lives.
520
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.599
So just seeing what a dog laying in a bed
521
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.680
with someone who's stuck in a hospital bed can do
522
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.880
and bring them to tears. And someone breaking down who
523
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.160
just passed a dog in the lobby and said can
524
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.200
I stop and pet them? And this woman just started
525
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.440
crying and said, thank you. This is the highlight of
526
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.359
my day, Like I needed this so much. And the
527
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.519
dogs aren't doing anything special other than just being dogs
528
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.079
and the presents that they give and the mood change
529
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.079
as soon as they walk in the room. A portion
530
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.200
of sales from the book is going to a cancer
531
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.759
institute Roswell and Buffalo in my hometown where my brother
532
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:28.599
works as a doctor. And then the other one was
533
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.119
Animas in Portugal and they do therapy dog work all
534
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.559
up and down the country of Portugal. So it was
535
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.240
that moving to me, and it was very important to
536
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.680
me in publishing this book that I wanted to get
537
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:41.880
back to dogs, and it was a no brainer that
538
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.519
it was going to be hospital therapy dogs.
539
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.359
So saying that, I want to make sure that people
540
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.720
know how to follow John Bobiano and can you share
541
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.720
Facebook Instagram? How do people keep tabs? And if they
542
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.079
want to help the hospitals in Portugal or in the States,
543
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:57.759
how do they get to do that?
544
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.680
Yep, So I am on both Facebook and on Instagram.
545
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.279
My profile is Wags around the World.
546
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.599
Wags around the World.
547
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.960
That's easy, yes, And I post regularly about both these
548
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.720
organizations just because they're that important to me. I post
549
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:16.039
Roswell Cancer institutes social media. ANI moster their social media
550
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:19.039
and it's the type of like uplifting things that you
551
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.559
go on social media to see, to see these dogs
552
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:24.039
in action, to see the smiles they put on people's faces,
553
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:26.599
especially the children, like no kid ever wants to be
554
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.000
in a hospital and neither is a guest or a patient.
555
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.640
And to see the kids as patients who are scheduling
556
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.160
their visits on the days the dogs are coming because
557
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.039
they know if I have to go to the hospital,
558
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:37.759
I want to hang out with the dog in the process.
559
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:40.720
And just it was really really special to see the
560
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:42.039
positive impact they have.
561
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.000
So we ask a lot of our guests, What would
562
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.079
be a superpower that dogs have that you wish you had?
563
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.200
And why? What's something that dogs do that you and
564
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:55.160
don't say, lift your leg really high?
565
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:58.119
I think it's one that I try like, I look
566
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.480
at them as role models for like enjoying every little
567
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.960
day and every little thing. It's appreciation of the smallest
568
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.000
things in life, which I think we get too busy
569
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.480
and our brains get too cluttered that like, little instances
570
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.559
can bring us so much joy if we stop and
571
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:18.160
taken appreciation for him every single time I come home, Viola,
572
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.480
it celebrates me like I just won the super Bowl
573
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:24.319
and then returning home to just appreciate the things that
574
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:27.359
you love in your life that much. It's something that
575
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:29.839
I look at dogs as role models in that respect.
576
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.279
I love it. Hey, everybody, we've had John Fabiano on.
