Note from dog
Learning about animal sentience is key to advocating for their welfare and general wellbeing. This is a fitting segue into the newly released episode of our podcast, an interview with neuroscientist Dr. Kathy Murphy. Simply put, Kathy teaches us about dogs’ brains. There are few people who can speak as mellifluously and knowledgeably as she does on this topic!

Celebrated poet, dancer, novelist, and lover of dogs Tishani Doshi shares her verse.

Last night

I heard a dog

in the valley

puncturing the hills

with a sound

from a long

time ago.

It was the sound

of a man and woman

falling out of love,

the sound of a century

caught in the dark.

A deep-throated howl

made under stars,

made against death,

insisting there are drums

underground,

cymbals in the clouds,

a music that goes on and on

because someone

somewhere

is listening.
