Paper Leash

Lori Meg

Paperleash covers the crimes that don't count — and the animals who are at the center of them.Some episodes are about crimes committed against animals: the breeders, the labs, the industries that get away with it because the victims can't testify. Other episodes are about animals who changed the outcome of a human case entirely — the dog whose barking led police to a body, the search-and-rescue animal who found what humans couldn't, the pet whose behavior became the detail that cracked an investigation wide open. Animal as victim, animal as witness, animal as the reason justice happened at all — this show covers all three.Alongside the cases, Paperleash tracks the animal welfare news and policy fights that rarely make the front page: the shelters at capacity, the legislation moving through statehouses, the rescues in progress right now.Every episode follows the paper trail wherever it leads.I'm Lori. This is Paperleash. Stay obsessed. Stay skeptical. Stay loud.
