Human-Animal Bond: What Dogs Teach Us About Love

Psychologist Dr. Chris Blazina has spent nearly 30 years studying the human-animal bond. In his book Good Dogs & Difficult People, he explores why dogs matter so much to us. We talk loneliness, why love is a skill, how dogs read our faces and scent, and one small habit he suggests with your dog: wait 10 seconds.
