Eric Wiese and Rashi Khanna Wiese are the husband and wife duo and new hosts of the show. When asked how they felt about filling such big shoes Eric answered, “The biggest hurdle has been taking over a show that is so well-loved and respected by an established fan base that is loyal to the previous host, Brandon McMillan. We always knew we had really big shoes to fill but I now realize we were a little naïve to think that the transition would be smooth, and we’d be accepted immediately. Regardless, our focus was and will always be about the dogs. We know Brandon’s focus was the same and we are so grateful that Brandon has paved the way for people like us and others to spread awareness of dog rescue.”
When you look at Eric’s background, he appears to be the perfect replacement for the dog centric rescue program, having started volunteering at age 15 at local shelters. It was at one of the shelters that he met a dog trainer, and his fate was sealed, giving the teenager the goal and aspiration to foster and to become a dog trainer. Eric recalls, “I was so impressed with the bond that the trainers formed with the dogs. The way the dogs responded to cues and watching them learn fascinated me. I think it was at that moment I knew what I wanted to do-I wanted to work with dogs for the rest of my life.”
