Description
In this episode, Nikki discusses your dog's brain and how the pathways are similar to an interstate. Interstates have off-ramps, or they would get gridlocked. Does your dog's interstate brain have off-ramps or rest and renewal or is he constantly fighting the enormous amount of traffic flowing nowhere?
