This week we're excited to welcome Stephen Pearcy of RATT to the dogcast. Anyone who follows Stephen on social media is well aware of his dog Bear who we learn is an 5 1/2 year old Chow Shepherd he adopted at the same time as their cat Charles. Stephen is a big dog guy and it was a pleasure talking with him about his history with dogs, what he learns from them and how Bear fits into his rock and roll lifestyle. Great talk with a legendary rock icon.

Look for Stephen's sixth solo album The Dogg Mob to come out later this summer and catch him currently on tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of Ratt's third LP Dancing Undercover . For dates and tickets visit officialstephenpearcy.com
