The Lunchbox Interview: Bryan Bailey on Dogs and Christmas

‘Tis the season for celebrating? But what about your dog?

I’ll admit: I’m not a dog-lover. Never got the hang of it, never felt entirely comfortable with canines. But I have plenty of friends who swear by their pooch, even though I see nothing but an incomprehensible, wild animal.

Turns out, looking at a pet dog as half wild animal isn’t such a bad approach. I talked with Bryan Bailey, author of “Embracing the Wild in Your Dog: An understanding of the authors of our dog’s behavior – nature and the wolf” and sometimes referred to as “The Wolf Whisperer” about dogs — specifically, how to handle your dog (or someone else’s!) around this wonderful holiday season.

Music today:

With winter coming sooner than most really like (always!), we will soon be calling for more Heat, just like The Town Heroes.
Or perhaps we’ll head down South for a Solar Escape, or is that what Kylo means?
Maybe we’ll just stay home and act like Animals, with our pets, and avoid having any In-Flight Safety films..
