From Tragedy To Action: A Mother’s Mission After a Devastating Dog Attack
We are talking about turning unimaginable losses into a mission for change.
In 2004, eight-year-old Roddie Jr. lost his life in a violent dog attack — a tragedy that no parent should ever have to endure. Out of that heartbreak, his mother, Tameaka Brown, founded Roddie Jr.’s Watchdog Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing similar tragedies and promoting safer relationships between communities, families, and animals.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Tameaka Brown, the foundation’s founder, along with staff from Mecklenburg County Animal Care and Control, and a veterinarian, to explore how education, responsible ownership, and community awareness can save lives — and ensure that no other child shares Roddie Jr.’s fate.
GUESTS –
- Tameaka Brown – CEO/Founder of Roddie Jr’s Watchdog Foundation.
- Katie Caffray – Lead animal control officer, Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Control
- Veterinarian Dr. Willie Taylor, Jr. – Founder of The Maggie T Foundation
