Dogmas & Dog Ewoks: How Halloween can polarize dog lovers
Description
Everything seems crazy and awful right now in the world and then, on top of it all, people are… putting costumes on dogs.
Anamarie and I delve into the weirdness and ethics of dressing up dogs. Additionally, we talk about Brian Hare and Vanessa Wood’s Atlantic article about a third wive of domestication in dogs, and the Monks of New Skete’s feature in the Associated Press. Ultimately, my 5-year-old sums up the spirit of the episode by sharing her own impromptu thoughts on how we should consider our dogs comfort above all else.
