Rhett McLaughlin shares the story of his dog, Barbara, a Maltipoo he adopted from a shelter. Barbara was initially adopted by another family but was returned due to her biting behavior. Rhett eventually adopted her and has had a great relationship with her.
Recently, Rhett hired a new team member named Sagar, who has a dog named JPEG that looks identical to Barbara. It turns out that JPEG and Barbara are siblings, and Sagar's partner had been searching for Barbara's siblings online.
