I spoke to The Atlantic about dogs and their toys for this article about why dogs are obsessed with their lamb chop toy. From the piece,

"Ask any random dog owner and there’s a good chance they’ll tell you: Lamb Chop is their dog’s favorite toy. They’ll say it with the confidence of having heard it directly from the dog itself. After witnessing my sister’s dog’s dedication to the toy, I spoke with more than 10 dog owners, all of whom were quick to send me pictures, videos, and anecdotes about their own dogs’ seemingly inexplicable Lamby love."

Does your dog love the lamb chop toy? What is your dog's favourite toy? Let me know!


I also spoke to Cat Chat to share 3 tips for your cat's litterbox. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts. 

We talked about the checklist for a happy cat from my book Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy, and how the three items on that list related to the litterbox are location, size, and cleanliness.
