This week was one of those moments for the DogPack team. Our AI talking dog podcast, starring Goldie and Frenchie, was featured in both&nbsp;<strong>Bloomberg Businessweek<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Business Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What started as a funny experiment to bring more people to the DogPack app somehow turned into two dogs cracking jokes on social media, and now they\u2019re being talked about by some of the biggest names in media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not bad for a couple of animated dogs with microphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curious what all the buzz is about? Watch Goldie and Frenchie in action below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"DogPack Pawdcast Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DmdsF8WreP0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch more clips and highlights on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@dogpackapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DogPack\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Talking Dog Podcast: From a Simple Idea to a Viral Sensation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we first imagined a&nbsp;<strong>dog podcast<\/strong>, the goal was simple: make people laugh. We wanted to create content that dog lovers could relate to, the kind that makes you say, \u201cYep, my dog definitely does that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we gave voices to two clever canines, Goldie, the confident Golden Retriever with zero filter, and Frenchie, the sarcastic sidekick who never misses a punchline. Their \u201cPawdcast\u201d quickly took off. Within months, they\u2019d reached&nbsp;<strong>over a million followers<\/strong>&nbsp;across&nbsp;<strong>Instagram<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>TikTok<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their jokes about needy humans, stolen socks, and questionable dating choices struck a chord. Apparently, everyone needed a laugh\u2026 and a little canine wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From Laughs to Real Heart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>dog podcast<\/strong>&nbsp;may have started as a comedy, but it evolved into something deeper. Goldie and Frenchie began highlighting&nbsp;<strong>rescue dogs<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>misunderstood breeds<\/strong>, and stories that tug at the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur tear jerkers do best right now,\u201d said DogPack\u2019s CMO and co founder <strong>Dov Punski<\/strong> in Business Insider. \u201cPeople don\u2019t like to feel like they\u2019re being tricked. We\u2019re not trying to fool anyone. We just want to entertain and make people feel something real.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That authenticity is exactly why millions have connected with these talking dogs. Behind the AI is a team of real dog lovers writing every line, every joke, every heartfelt moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Featured by Bloomberg and Business Insider<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his&nbsp;<em>Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em>&nbsp;article,&nbsp;<strong>Brad Stone<\/strong>&nbsp;gave DogPack a good-natured roast for our \u201cdad-joke-level humor.\u201d Fair enough. We admit it. Goldie\u2019s sense of humor is\u2026 a little \u201cruff\u201d around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even Brad saw what\u2019s happening here, how a playful idea grew into a creative movement blending technology, comedy, and heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile,&nbsp;<em>Business Insider<\/em>\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Lucia Moses<\/strong>&nbsp;dove into how DogPack turned two talking dogs into a cultural moment. She shared how&nbsp;<strong>WME | William Morris Endeavor<\/strong>, one of Hollywood\u2019s top agencies, is now helping us expand the Goldie and Frenchie universe into new kinds of content \u2014 from longer episodes to TV and brand collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, even Hollywood couldn\u2019t resist the charm of two podcasting dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Next for DogPack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DogPack\u2019s story doesn\u2019t stop with the Pawdcast. The talking dog podcast has even helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogpackapp.com\/blog\/dogpack-ai-podcast-dog-adoptions\/\">two rescue dogs find forever homes<\/a>. Our social media family now includes&nbsp;<strong>over 2 million users in 20 countries<\/strong>, and our team is building new ways for dog lovers to connect every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As&nbsp;<strong>Jonathan Punski<\/strong>, DogPack\u2019s CEO, put it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday we\u2019re creating heartfelt, purpose-driven videos, collaborating with famous dogs and the dogs of famous owners, reaching millions of people around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up next is something we\u2019re really excited about, the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogpackapp.com\/blog\/dogpack-marketplace-shop-dog-products\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"42308\">DogPack Marketplace<\/a><\/strong>, a new hub where pet lovers can discover unique, high-quality products from dog-friendly brands. And yes, Goldie and Frenchie might have a few opinions about that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thank You for Being Part of the Pack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, none of this would be possible without our incredible community. Every comment, every laugh, every share, it all matters. You\u2019re the reason Goldie and Frenchie keep showing up behind that virtual mic every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here\u2019s to the next chapter, to more laughs, more rescue stories, and more dogs who remind us that joy doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc3e&nbsp;<strong>Follow the DogPack Podcast:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/officialdogpack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@officialdogpack?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a><br>\ud83d\udc36&nbsp;<strong>Join the App:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogpackapp.com\/blog\/download-app\/\">Download DogPack<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy custom videos and pictures from the Official team behind Goldie &amp;
