Jennifer Holland is a longtime writer for National Geographic where she has covered animal behavior, evolutionary biology, natural history, and more. She is also a book author, whose latest work ‘Dog Smart’ looks at the different ways we can re-consider the intelligence of our canine companions. Instead of anthropomorphizing them and evaluating against our own standards, we need to look at them for who they truly are. 

Former guest and psychologist Dr. Chris Blazina is the contributing host for this conversation with Jennfier about her new book and what she learned in the process of writing it.

EPISODE 1 of our new DOG PARKOLOGY narrative series:
Many dog parks today still resemble the traditional fenced-in spaces established almost 50 years ago. However, our understanding of how dogs think and the number of dogs in American households have grown considerably in the last few decades. Humans have also become increasingly isolated due to the usage of digital technologies and the decline of public spaces for real-life interactions. Through it all, dog parks remain one of the few enduring third places that attract all types of people. It’s more important than ever to build out from the dog park paradigm, to strengthen community ties and raise appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Winnie Au is a photographer based in Brooklyn, NY, who has found a muse in dogs throughout her career. She specializes in creating poignant and playful editorial dog photos. After her own dog, Tartine, received a cancer diagnosis, she pursued a long, traumatic, and expensive treatment plan that ultimately could not save her pet. This experience inspired Winnie to partner with a non-profit for a photo series to raise awareness for those who need financial assistance for medical bills of their dogs. The photo series, Cone of Shame, also flips the negative stigma of dogs wearing cones around their heads and presents them in an artistic, positive, and playful light. The eye-catching photos helped get attention for Animal Haven's Recovery Road Fund, which helps take away the burden of choice based on affordability for your dog’s care. - SOCIAL MEDIA - Website - https://www.dogsavethepeople.com - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople - Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavetheppl - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople - FEATURED LINKS - Winnie Au’s website - https://www.winniewow.com - Winnie Au on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/winniewow - Winnie Au’s dog, Clementine, on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/clemclemthebasset - Winnie Au on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/winnieauphotography - “Cone of Shame” photo series - https://www.winniewow.com/coneofshame - Canine Chronicles book - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coneofshame/canine-chronicles - Animal Haven's Recovery Road Fund - https://animalhaven.org/support
