Here & Now‘s Peter O’Dowd speaks with New Orleans resident Joshua Cousin about Cheddar, his pet beagle, and what happened to the dog after Hurricane Katrina hit the city 20 years ago.

Cheddar was kicked off an evacuation bus, and Cousin tracked him down on the internet and found him again. “He was one of us, like family,” Cousin tells us. After Katrina, Cousin founded the New Orleans Legacy Association of Bands.
