Yvie Jones says dogs are "the best humans I know" and lists loyalty, unconditional love, and "yeasty paws."

1. Paws and Listen Podcast uses the interview with Yvie Jones to focus on dogs, rescue fostering, and her route into Gogglebox. 2. Yvie Jones is a TV personality, radio presenter, podcast creator, and rescue fosterer, while Wolf hosts the conversation and asks about dogs, fostering, and her media work. 3. The episode asks why Yvie is so committed to dogs and how rescue, fostering, and adoption work in practice. 4. Yvie says dogs are "the best humans I know" and lists loyalty, unconditional love, and "yeasty paws" as reasons. 5. She says she will squeeze a dog's anal glands, and Wolf compares that to enjoying pimple-popping and ear-cleaning videos. 6. Yvie says she grew up in Sydney's northern beaches with a dog-loving father who called every dog "Tiger." 7. She describes being bitten by a large Alsatian as a child, getting a tetanus shot and a lolly, and continuing to love dogs anyway. 8. She recalls dogs in the streets in the 1970s, pound puppies, and litters of puppies that families would choose from before naming them. 9. Yvie says the runt of the litter often becomes the chosen dog because people want to protect the one with the crease in its ear or the spot on its fur. 10. She volunteers with Delta therapy dogs at Royal Melbourne Hospital and palliative care, where staff and patients gather around when the dogs arrive. 11. Yvie says intraspecies germs make it very difficult for humans to catch illness from dogs, so dogs can visit without masks. 12. She says she has two and a half dogs because she co-parents Harry with a friend, and Harry moves between two homes without stress. 13. She gives another example of a Brussels Griffon being dropped off before sunrise, then running into bed and going back to sleep. 14. Yvie says foster dogs settle when they are taken straight to bed and shown that everyone in the house is lying down and safe. 15. She describes learning from the human foster system that children can benefit from multiple loving homes, and she connects that idea to dogs. 16. She explains that she has fostered for about 20 years, averaging about one dog a month, which she estimates as roughly 240 dogs. 17. Yvie says she worked with Pause and Recover after police officer Jackie Largo started the program to help women in DV situations keep their dogs. 18. She now works with All For Paws Rescue and says most current intake is ex puppy mill dogs from New South Wales and Queensland, including puppies and older breeders. 19. The interview stays conversational and detailed, with Wolf prompting long stories and Yvie answering in a candid, energetic style. 20. People who love rescue dogs, foster care, and Gogglebox behind-the-scenes stories will like this episode, while listeners seeking a short celebrity chat may skip it.
