[INSPIRE 51] LAURA COFFEY - RESCUED PETS & HOW THEY RESCUE US! | NBC Today Show Producer | Spirituality | Health | Self-Help

If you’ve ever wanted to shift your life, breathe new energy into things, feel better about the world, and gain a whole new perspective on life, even a 4 legged perspective then do we have the show for you. Today I’m interviewing Laura Coffey, writer, editor and producer for Today.com, the website of NBC’s Today show, and author of one of my favorite books ever, My Old Dog. Now I’m biased, I’ve had older dogs travel with us on book tour, and run with us, until they were seventeen, so I love older dogs. I love younger puppies too, but there’s so much wisdom, patience, and love in an older dog. And I’m not alone, celebrities such as George Clooney, and the humans being the upscale Nordstrom, love their old dogs too. As does Grammy nominated singer-song writer Neko Case. So I can’t wait to talk with Laura about Einstein and George Clooney, about older dogs and what they have to offer and why tongues hanging out, just might be a good thing. Topics Include: Why Adopt an Older Dog?
