Inspiring Young Advocates - A Dog Named 647
Thursday, 24 September, 2026
Karen and Jean chat with veterinarian, author, and animal welfare advocate Dr. Nancy Kay about her newest book, A Dog Named 647, a middle-grade novel that introduces young readers to the realities of puppy mills.Dr. Kay’s advocacy against puppy mills grew directly out of her work as a veterinarian, where she saw firsthand the physical and emotional harm suffered by dogs from commercial breeding operations — as well as the impact on families who unknowingly purchased unhealthy or fearful puppies. Those experiences eventually inspired her to bring the issue to younger readers through A Dog Named 647.The conversation explores why education is so important to ending puppy mills, why middle school readers are such an important audience, and how young people can become effective advocates for animals.One important takeaway: don’t buy a pet from a pet store or online without meeting the parents and seeing where and how the animals are being raised.Dr. Nancy Kay is also the author of:• Speaking for Spot: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life• Your Dog’s Best Health: A Dozen Reasonable Things to Expect From Your Vet• A Dog Named 647Learn more about Dr. Nancy Kay, her books, and her animal welfare advocacy at http://www.drnancykay.com .If you enjoy the PawsGo Pawdcast, please share the episode, give us a 5-star rating and maybe an nice comment.
