## Resource

Wildlife broadcaster and conservationist Chris Packham joins Oh My Dog - and ends up answering some of the biggest dog questions we’ve ever had on the podcast. Chris introduces us to his two poodles Sid and Nancy , explains why he feeds them a vegan diet , and reveals what science actually says about whether dogs love their owners . Along the way he also settles some classic dog mysteries - including why dogs spin before they poo, why they eat other dogs’ poo, why dogs lick our faces, and how closely they’re connected to wolves. Plus:Jack explains the history of pavements, Seann tries to solve Mildred’s early-morning barking problem, and we learn that dogs might love their owners even more than sausages. It’s one of our most fascinating episodes yet!
