Dogs and Their Emotional Depths with Dr. Alexandra Horowitz
Q: Can you explain to me just about on some of the emotions that we get wrong as human beings often?
We assume what maps to us is what they're experiencing, like thinking a panting dog means they're happy when it could also mean they're anxious or stressed.
Dogs and Their Emotional Depths with Dr. Alexandra Horowitz
Q: How did you get into studying psychology, the emotions, the behaviors of dogs?
I was a graduate student in cognitive science. I wanted to study play behavior, and I realized at some point that I was watching my own dog, Pumpernickel, play with other dogs, which was the seed for studying dogs.
We Are Each Other’s Medicine with Mylo Fowler

Mylo shares that he grew up in a household that appeared poor by standards but was rich in love and experiences, raised by his grandmother who instilled values of giving and community.
