Today we're sharing a longer story that was originally told in three parts in 2017, all edited together for your listening pleasure! Please enjoy "Soft: The First Dog" the story of how humans and dogs first became friends. (Please note: This story might be more appropriate for some of our older listeners, about 7 and up!) We'll be back with new stories next week. Enjoy the long weekend!
