When a 35-pound malnourished dog was dumped for dead in the parking lot of the Kentucky Humane Society in 2021, Jeff Callaway took him in and nursed him back to health. Today, the dog is known as ‘Ethan Almighty’ and is internationally known, spreading a mission of kindness wherever he goes.

On this episode of Inside Louisville, host Kelsey Starks sits down with Callaway to talk about how Ethan has inspired people from all walks of life, changed laws to prevent animal abuse in Kentucky and even become the subject of a feature movie being made about his journey.
