In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s newest podcast, Go Atlanta, AJC Food, Dining and Living editor Ligaya Figueras explored dry January with beverage industry veterans Jerry and Krista Slater. Plus, the announcement of Joyful Daily coming to the AJC.

AJC Feature Writer Bo Emerson introduces you to a local optometrist who set up a dog tag memorial behind his McDonough practice for people, like him, whose pets have “crossed the rainbow bridge.”

AJC Arts and Entertainment editor Shane Harrison previews AJC Entertainment Reporter Rodney Ho’s feature on Collective Soul’s Ed Roland. Plus, Shane wants you to meet Tedd, Go Atlanta’s pet of the week.

Tedd is this week's pet of the week from Lifeline.

If Tedd gave a talk this is what he’d have to say: “I’m a misunderstood guy hoping to catch your eye. Shelter life is no life but if you take me home, my heart you’ll own and we’ll both never be alone.” A LifeLine volunteer shared that Tedd is calm, responds to “sit” and “shake,” and he’s easy to walk. Tedd loves treats and may be fine living with another dog. Did we mention he’s extremely handsome? Come and visit Tedd today at DeKalb County Animal Services at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road in Chamblee.
