Louise and Michelle are joined by Dr Janey Lowes — a vet from the North East of England who, at 26, packed up her life and moved to Sri Lanka to help street dogs. What started as a year-long volunteering trip has become a decade-long mission, a team of 70, and Sri Lanka's only emergency hospital for street dogs. Janey shares the story of how WECare Worldwide grew from just her, a friend, and a tuk-tuk driver, to treating over 35,000 animals in the south of Sri Lanka. We talk about rabies, neutering programmes, rehoming, the economic crisis, and why putting dogs back on the street is often the kindest thing to do. And then there's the big one — The Dog Jog. Starting 12th October, Janey is running 600km from the top of Sri Lanka to the bottom, over 20–25 days, to raise over £1 million for a brand new hospital and vet nursing training centre. She's never run a half marathon. She's training in 37-degree heat and 94% humidity. And she is absolutely doing it anyway.
