Response-Able is a short story that deals with the issue of taking responsibility. In this story we learn about Shane and the responsibility he holds in his part time job at the local fuel station. We also see how Rosie takes responsibility for certain things as well, even though she is a dog. Rosie discusses the importance of being polite, reliable, and trustworthy. She also tells how she has learnt to have self-discipline, control impulses, and think before she acts.
 
Issues covered include self-control, behaviour modification, impulsive actions, acting with integrity, and building a reputation for being reliable and trustworthy.
 
This story includes a snippet of music at the end of the podcast, as the audio was taken from Miss Polly's video recording of Response-Able. So here's the required music credit!
