## Resource

Cindy Adams interviews Michael Gould, the founder of Hounds Town USA and a former NYPD K-9 handler. Through a humorous and sometimes blunt exchange, the text explores the philosophy of natural pack behavior, emphasizing that dogs are authentic, simple-minded animals who respond to consistency and boundaries rather than human shouting or complex emotions. Gould highlights the importance of socialization and explains how his background in police dog training informs his modern approach to pet care and charity work. Learn more about your ad choices.
