Imagine finding a dog on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Then taking him to a local shelter to check for a microchip and spending over a month getting that dog returned to you to foster all the way from Alabama to Massachusetts.   Foster failing and falling in love with your new dog only to find out that he has been heartworm positive since probably before you found him.   Join Em and Josh as we discuss this heart-wrenching story with Molly about her dog Polo. While this story has a happy ending, it is unfortunately not always the case. On this episode of Straight Up Dog Talk, we talk about the importance of preventative meds and the mental and emotional toll that comes with the treatment of severe health conditions in dogs.    Follow Molly & Polo On Instagram & TikTok: polothepittie   To learn more about Heartworm and Prevention: https://www.heartwormsociety.org/
