Genetics For Animal Rescue ~The Surprising Science Behind the Dogs and Cats We Love~

What if understanding the dog or cat beside you started with their DNA? Dr. Doc, an animal geneticist , and Penny, his curious co-host, turn genetics, ancient origins, and behavior into something you can actually feel. Across friendly, story-driven episodes they decode where dogs and cats came from, why they act the way they do, and what welfare science reveals. No prior knowledge needed — just curiosity and a love of the animals we live with. The through-line: the more we understand them, the more shelter animals find their way home.
