Some of you know that I traveled to India in 2025 (with Cyn & Drew) and then to Sri Lanka earlier this year (with Cyn again!) to study free-living dogs. It has taken me a minute to gather my thoughts but, here you go...

And, for those of you interested, our guide for those trips, Kapil Patwardan, is coming to Seattle to speak at DDO on October 3rd! More details to come but definitely save the date, you won't want to miss it!
