Daddy Owen brings best-selling author and child care expert “Good Dog” Carl into the studio to get to the bottom of the two leg or four leg babysitting controversy as Owen reads Good Dog Carl by Alexandra Day. Carl, a very large rottweiler, is patient with Owen’s snarky reading of his famous memoir, but his proposal to get physical is just too much. Carl goes Cujo on Owen.
