Dog behaviorist and researcher Dr. Ellen Furlong from Illinois Wesleyan University describes some fascinating studies that reveal we may not know dogs as well as we think we do.
This discussion was inspired by Yasemin Saplakoglu’s article in Live Science.

The Parvo pup is Peaches’ friend Oakley. He is mentioned in this episode when we talk about dogs watching TV.
