Radio show is a doggie treat

QUESTION Is The Barking Hour, BBC Radio London’s weekly radio show for dogs and dog owners, the only radio show of its kind in the world?

HOSTED by Jo good and dog trainer anna Webb, The Barking Hour is a time to discuss all things doggy — healthcare, nutrition, grooming and training — as the ‘ barking blondes’ interview celebrity dog lovers such as robbie Williams and Leona Lewis.

It is the only radio show in europe dedicated to canines, however, there are many animal programmes in the u.S.

Dog trainer to the stars Warren eckstein has hosted The Pet Show in California every Saturday for the past 31 years. a pet psychologist, he has worked with the animals of David Letterman, Lily Tomlin and al Pacino. He is also known across the u.S. as NBC’s Today Show pet expert.

all Paws Pet Talk radio, headed by Judy Francis and Hal abrams, also broadcasts weekly. Its experts include Vladislav roytapel, who claims to speak ‘Doglish’, and a pet reincarnation specialist.

Steve Dale’s one-hour weekly radio show Pet World covers everything from companion pets to the behaviour of wild animals, while British- born presenter Sonya Fitzpatrick hosts animal Intuition, and claims a telepathic ability to communicate with animals. She uses it to cure medical and behavioural problems, and says she can put owners in touch with deceased pets.

QUESTION Do any golf courses span two countries?

FURTHER to the earlier answers of Llanymynech (england/Wales) and Tornio (Finland/Sweden), at Whipsnade Park you tee up on the first hole in Buckinghamshire and your ball lands in Bedfordshire, as the counties meet at the tee.

Bizarrely, its address says it’s in Hertfordshire. no wonder a name put forward at the club’s launch was Three Counties golf Club.
