Show Notes
Leonard Wilson is an unlikely social media star. For one, nobody is really sure how old Leonard is. He’s a senior, that much is clear. He lives on a farm in Parry Sound, Ontario. His Facebook dispatches detail his chicken-caring duties, walks around the homestead, and wild animal encounters. Hundreds of fans from as far away as China and Mexico send e-mails if they don't see a new "Leonard Time" update every few weeks. The other thing about Leonard? He's a dog. A 148-pound dog. (Originally broadcast May 2021)
