Revered as the world's most valuable dog, Pulaski's Masterpiece had it all. He was a champion show dog, a successful stud, the mascot of a luxury dog supply shop, a model, a socialite, a celebrity, a TV talk show host, and even an international goodwill ambassador. With a resumé like that, it's not surprise he was considered to be the most famous dog in the world during his lifetime. But that's not what Pulaski's Masterpiece is most remembered for. Instead, his legacy is dominated by the mystery of his disappearance. Despite an extensive police investigation and a high-profile campaign to find him, 70 years on the truth of what happened to him is still unknown. In this weeks episode of the Animal Nerd Podcast, we're diving deep into both Masterpiece's incredible life and the unsolved mystery of his disappearance. Honestly, this episode gets surprisingly true crimey for a podcast about pets!

Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output.
