Chipotle and Greg Markelz CnG's RescueTalk Pawspectives(Scroll Down to listen to Podcast Episodes)

Greg Markelz – Inspirational Speaker, Storyteller, Animal Advocate, Radio Show Host, and Songwriter. Give Animals a Voice, One Story and Song at a Time.

I give animals a voice by writing their stories and performing their songs—told from their point of view, straight to your heart.

Animals are talking. They’ve got lessons to teach. The only question is—are you listening?

It all began years ago, when I was writing only my second-ever song: the story of Chipotle, our rescue dog, told from his perspective. When my guitar instructor heard it and said it sounded like a commercial for anti-cruelty, something sparked in me. It was a fire of purpose that’s never gone out.

When Chipotle heard the song and the comment, he made it clear—we were just getting started. That day, our mission was born: to use his stories, and the songs I’d write about them, to help rescue animals everywhere.

We called it “CnG’s SongRoads”—short for Chipotle and Greg—with “SongRoads” representing the long, winding journey we’d take, guided by stories, sound, and love.

Years later, when it was time to send my sweet boy across the Rainbow Bridge, he made me promise to carry the torch—to keep the music playing, and keep fighting for the animals who can’t fight for themselves.

And now? Our mission rockets onto the airwaves—guitar blazing and tail wagging—as Animals Unplugged strikes a powerful chord for animals everywhere. With CnGee, your superhero pup and six-string slinger of hope, we spotlight the heart-pounding, real-life rescue heroes who give animals a second chance and a song worth singing.

Our goal? To save 1 million pets by 2030. One voice. One story. One song at a time.
