In a recent interview, dog trainer and veterinary nurse Sarah Dallera revealed that her 9-year-old dog Brioche is on a vegetable-based diet.


Social media comments were split: some defended Sarah, but the majority of commentators attacked her, with abuse and even threats. Sarah, who was born in Italy but who has been working in Sydney for several years, has in the past hosted a segment dedicated to pets on SBS Italian. We spoke to her and asked her about her choice to feed Brioche with a plant-based diet and to find out how her interview went viral online.
