Vocalist/guitarist Alan Day of the band Four Year Strong joins the show today to talk about his trio of dogs Bandit, Kipper and Dasher. Bandit is a 12 year old German Shepherd/Lab mix with 8% Chihuahua mixed somewhere in his 80lb body. Kip is his beloved mash up of Husky/Collie/Terrier/Pit who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in May. And we're lucky enough to get introduced to his new 9 month old dog Dasher who is suspected of being a Black Mouth Cur/Lab/maybe pit mix. Great conversation that captures the true spirit of these different dogs and the compassion Alan has for them.

Alan and Four Year Strong will be heading out on tour with All Time Low, Mayday Parade and The Paradox for a month of shows starting on November 5th in Toronto before embarking on the UK leg of the tour in January. For tour stops and dates visit fouryearstrong.com

Alan gave his shout out to Great Dog Rescue New England who are a non-profit, shelterless, all-breed rescue group headquartered in Massachusetts comprised of volunteers from all over New England who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Their goal is to meet the needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate visit gdrne.com
