Episode 177 –  Dognapping Baboons

Dognapping baboons? If you don’t believe me, check out this  video clip. Aside from being fascinating, this is the kind of clip that makes me glad I’m an independent scholar in the realm of the human-animal bond. That way I have access to academics like bond scholar Hal Herzog who pointed me to his blog about this interspecies incident. (Read Hal Herzog’s blog for the inside scoop on this event.)

But events such as these also make me relish my status as an independent scholar because it gives me the freedom to think the unthinkable, the weird or possibly just plain crazy thoughts about what might be going on here…and what it might say about us and our relationships with our dogs.
