🎄✨ Episode 57 is here! ✨🎄
In our final episode for the year, Talking Couch Potatoes brings you a story that is not just a conversation…it’s a journey.This episode features Kim Whiting, author of Simba’s Story – a deeply moving account of a traumatised greyhound who went missing for 16 days in the Dandenong Ranges, and the extraordinary community that refused to give up on him. ❤️
Simba’s story is about so much more than a lost dog.
It’s about trauma, trust, survival instincts, and unconditional love. It’s about what greyhounds endure before they ever reach a couch.
And it’s about the quiet power of people coming together when it matters most.
Matt and Jem talk with Kim about:
🐕 Adopting fearful, traumatised greyhounds
🌲 What really happens when a dog is lost and in survival mode
🤝 The unbelievable strength of the greyhound community
✨ The power of hope
