Show Notes

In this week’s episode, The Mystics jump into the fascinating and heartwarming phenomenon of riot dogs—stray pups who seem to choose a side in protests, often standing with demonstrators and barking at police 🐶 From Greece’s Loukanikos, a stray who became a symbol of resistance, to Chile’s beloved Negro Matapacos, a dog with a red bandana and a rebellious spirit, these furry freedom fighters have captured the world’s attention 🥰 Join Amber and Lesley as they explore their stories, and work through why dogs might feel drawn to the commotion of protests, and the lasting legacies of these canine revolutionaries. It’s a tail-wagging blend of history, humor, and a whole lot of heart. 🐾
