Dog Breed Popularity: Fashion or Function?
Description
We're joined by Dr. Hal Herzog, a world-renowned anthrozoologist. Dr. Herzog investigates the complex psychology of our interactions with other species, and he's been doing so for more than two decades. In this episode, we discuss social contagions (AKA trends) relating to dog breed popularity, as well as the question of whether pets are really good for our health.
