Remembrance Sunday: Ziggy the Assistance Dog

This Remembrance Sunday Anna is joined by British Army veteran, Richard Means and his PTSD Assistance Dog Ziggy, for a walk on Hampstead Heath, talking about the invisible disability of mental health, and how Ziggy has turned his life around. They talk about the on-going discrimination that Ziggy faces in public spaces, which flies in the face of the law under the Equality Act 2010. They also talk about why Remembrance Sunday is so important to think of for both humans and animals who paid the ultimate price in all conflicts.

Dogs. They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves. Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary. She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal. It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive. Cover photo by @Gruffpawtraits
