In one of the most emotional episodes yet of the Long Live Dogs: Pitbulls & Pet Grief Podcast, Craig opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his beloved dog Marshall after a more than two-year battle with canine cancer.

Craig shares what it was like fighting cancer in dogs, navigating difficult specialist appointments, and learning how to advocate for your dog at the vet when something doesn’t feel right. He speaks honestly about the emotional toll of anticipatory grief after a dog cancer diagnosis, the guilt many pet parents carry, and the desperate hope for just a little more time.

Together, Craig and Josephine discuss holistic dog care, quality of life for dogs with cancer, rescue dog advocacy, and the reality of coping with losing a dog when you’re simply not ready to let go.

This episode is for every dog parent who has ever loved deeply, fought hard for their dog, and experienced the heartbreak of pet grief and saying goodbye.
