1. The Evolution of "Puppy Dog Eyes" in Dogs, A Conversation With Juliane Kaminski

In this episode we talk with Juliane Kaminski, a researcher who studies human sociality and social cognition, but who also studies dogs. In the conversation, we discuss the nature of cognition and what we know about how humans interact with dogs, how the familiar “puppy dog eyes” came to be, and what our dogs are actually feeling when they put them on. We also cover the importance of eye contact in human-dog interactions, and how these behaviors may be present in other animals like horses.
