Human pup with all-black neoprene hood and orange tongue. A chew toy sticks out of the muzzle, bone-shaped and made of tennis-ball material. The pup wears a "Pound Puppy" T-shirt and is sitting (like a good boy) on stairs.

About The Host

Aechus Kurendys

The creator and host of The Dog Dish, pup Aechus, identifies as a happily uncollared gamma stray Clumber Spaniel. He’s calm and independent, but sometimes a little too head-strong. Fun fact: He hates squeaky toys.

 Aechus’s human alter-ego has been working with sound editing since the late ’90s, and he’s been a professional podcaster since 2015. The Dog Dish grew out of a desire to bring the conversational dialogue benefits of podcasts to the human puppy community.

Because it’s a FAQ: Aechus is derived from the Latin “aecus”, meaning fair, impartial, and kind. Kurendys is from the Latin “curandus”, meaning patient and cared-for. (Hear more in the Names episode!)
