Sit. Listen. Heal.
Therapy dogs have always offered comfort in hospitals, schools, and communities. Now, one beloved doodle is stepping up to the mic.
Launching in January 2026, Tail Talk: Hosted by Patrick the Therapy Doodle (Sit. Stay. Heal.) is the world’s first dog-hosted mental health podcast. Through heartfelt storytelling, expert insights, and Patrick’s unique charm, the show opens conversations about mental health in a way that’s both engaging and healing.
Patrick, a certified therapy doodle and the official ambassador of the Love and Hugs Mental Health Foundation, “hosts” the show through a unique video format enhanced with AI—allowing audiences to see him interact with guests while hearing his voice, performed by Trent Whitfield. Alongside co-host Dr. Nikole Scott, Patrick leads discussions about grief, resilience, healing, and the powerful bond between humans and therapy animals.
Why Tail Talk Matters
Tail Talk is more than a podcast—it’s a movement. By sharing stories of love, loss, recovery, and hope, Patrick and his guests shine a light on the importance of mental health support and break down stigma in a fresh, accessible way.
Most importantly, a portion of all proceeds benefits the Love and Hugs Mental Health Foundation, funding therapy dog programs, youth and teen outreach, workplace advocacy, and veteran partnerships.
