Meet Leo the Dog: Hi! I'm Leo! I'm 5 years old as of September 2020 and I'm a Bernese Mountain dog. My owner, Maryse, who is also the Unpaid Promoter of the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast, took me to meet Genevieve from Beyond My Leash. I was feeling anxious and nervous all the time, especially in social situations, and she could see it in my eyes and my body. So, she brought me to see Genevieve and now I feel good and proud, and I make her proud - now I'm anxious to show off to you, the listeners, what I have learned in "school" this year!
